Figure 2. Fluorescence calibration and cellular uptake/release of FITC-AuNPs.
a, Normalized fluorescence intensities plotted against nanoparticle concentration. Dotted lines represent linear least square fitting results. For all components, fluorescence intensity was linearly proportional to concentration. b and c, Differential interference contrast (DIC) and confocal green fluorescent images of cells in monolayer culture incubated with cationic (b) and anionic (c) gold nanoparticles.
