Table 2.

Relaxivity values r1 and r2 (s−1 mM−1) at 1.5 T and 21°C for Ba/F3 and THP-1 cell samples incubated with gadolinium oxide nanoparticles with or without protamine sulfate treatment

r1 r2 r2/r1
Ba/F3 + protamine sulfate 5.3 ± 0.5 17.2 ± 1.3 3.2
Ba/F3 − protamine sulfate 4.5 ± 0.5 13.4 ± 1.0 3.0
THP-1 + protamine sulfate 3.6 ± 0.3 9.6 ± 0.9 2.7
THP-1 − protamine sulfate 4.7 ± 0.8 13.6 ± 1.0 2.9

Note: Relaxivity calculations were based on gadolinium concentration in cells after treatment.
