Assessment of the effect of boron carbide preparations (B4C 1 and B4C 2) on the cell cycle after 24-hour incubation with phagocytic cells using the BrdU assay. A Scheme of flow cytometry analysis showing the method of determining cell populations in S, G2/M and G1 phase. B Percentage of RAW264.7, J774A.1 and JAWS II cell population in S, G2/M and G1 phase after exposure to boron carbide at concentrations 10, 50, 100 and 200 µg/ml. C Percentage of M0, M1 and M2 macrophage population in S, G2/M and G1 phase after exposure to boron carbide at concentrations 10, 50 and 100 µg/ml. Results are expressed as means calculated for three repetitions
