Figure 2From: Nanomaterial cytotoxicity is composition, size, and cell type dependentAnalysis of nanomaterial uptake. Nanomaterial uptake by (a) 3T3, (b) hT, and (c) RAW cells. Unexposed cells were scanned to establish normal cell population. Cells exposed to nanoparticles for 3 hrs were detached from well plates and analyzed for forward scatter vs. side scatter to determine nanoparticle uptake. In the case of nanomaterial exposed cells, nanomaterial uptake/surface adsorption is reflected by increases in the side scatter of cell populations.Back to article page
