Quantitative cellular uptake analysis by B16F10 and MCF-7 cells. In vitro cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles and nanocomposite formulations into B16F10 (A and B) and MCF-7 cells (C and D), assessed using fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis.

Notes: Unlabeled and fluorescently labeled histograms of (A) CL_AuNP_DTX and (B) AL_AuNR_DTX for B16F10 cells, and (C) CL_AuNP_DTX and (D) AL_AuNR_DTX for MCF-7 cells. Control, gray; nanoparticles, green; formulations, pink.

Abbreviations: AL_AuNR_DTX, docetaxel-loaded anionic lipid-coated gold nanorod; CL_AuNP_DTX, cationic lipid-coated gold nanoparticle; FL2-H, fluorescence2-height; SSC-H, side-scattered light-height.
