Effect of empty nanocapsules (NC) on the migration of neutrophils. Possible interference in homeostasis was evaluated using a quantity of NC corresponding to a dosage of 30 µg·kg−1. The mice were treated with saline (0.2 mL, s.c.) or with NC followed by injection with saline. A separate set of mice was treated with saline (0.2 mL, s.c.), or NC and then injected i.p. with carrageenan at a dose of 500 µg per cavity. Neutrophil migration was determined after 4 h. The values are means (±SD) of six animals per group.
