Cell viability in mammalian cells following Ag-np treatment. Cell viability of (A) IMR-90 cells, (B) MO59K and MO59J cells, and (C) CHO AA8 and CHO V33 cells after 48 h treatment with Ag-np at different concentrations is shown. The cell viability percentage was normalized against the untreated controls (0 μg/ml) for Ag-np treatment alone or DMSO control (0 μM) for each cell type pre-treated with NU7026 (10 μM). The values represent the mean ± standard error of three sets of independent experiments; *denotes p < 0.05; **denotes p < 0.01; and ***denotes p < 0.001 as obtained using Student’s t-test, where the statistical significance between controls and Ag-np treated samples was analyzed.
