The results obtained from the evaluation of cytotoxic
activity of C
fullerene (0.15 mg/ml) towards normal
cells (Table) have shown that C

fullerene does not have
any toxic effect towards macrophages and hepatocytes.
On the contrary, it stimulates lymphocytes growth by ~
15 %, which is probably caused by enhancing metabolism
leading to an increase in their proliferative activity.
