In vitro cell culture demonstrates effective heating and cell death with Au-NP treated cells in the RF field. A, Temperature of HepG2 cells exposed to 35 W in the RF field in the presence (squares) or absence (diamonds) of Au-NP over a time course. Results reported are the average of 3 separate experiments. B, Percent cell death as assessed by LDH assay of HepG2 cells exposed to 35 W in the RF field for 3, 5 or 7 minutes in the presence (black) or absence (white) of Au-NP. Results reported are the average of 3 separate experiments. C, Western blot for b-actin on the supernatants of HepG2 cells exposed to 35 W in the RF field in the presence or absence of Au- NP for 5 or 7 minutes. Reproduced with permission from reference 16.
