Cell viability measured by lactate dehydrogenase activity (μKatal/L)
| Unstimulated | Zymosan | S. epidermidis | |
|---|---|---|---|
| AuNP | 0.31±0.07 | 0.29±0.09 | 0.26±0.06 |
| Au | 0.27±0.06 | 0.34±0.17 | 0.26±0.07 |
| TCP | 0.40±0.10 | 0.44±0.15 | 0.34±0.05 |
| Thx | 0.26±0.08 | 0.32±0.15 | 0.22±0.05 |
Notes: Media controls on the different materials averaged between 0.18 and 0.20 μKatal/L. Data represent the mean ± standard deviation (n=4–6).
Abbreviations: Au, smooth gold surface; AuNP, nanostructured gold surface; TCP, tissue culture-treated polystyrene; Thx, tissue culture-treated plastic cover slip; S. epidermidis, Staphylococcus epidermidis.
