Amount of mucin binding onto the different MNPs. (A) Concentration of bound mucin expressed in μg/ml on to the MNPs+β-CD and MNPs+β-CD-F-127 particles, while varying the concentration of mucin from 100 to 1000 μg/ml at 1, 3, 6 and 24 h time points, at a fixed MNP concentration of 250 μg/ml. (B) Concentration of bound mucin expressed in μg/ml on to the MNPs+β-CD and MNPs+β-CD-F-127 particles, while varying the concentration of MNPs from 10 to 500 μg/ml at 1 and 3 h time points, at fixed mucin concentration of 1000 μg/ml. Data presented is average of three independent measurements and error bars drawn are from standard error of the mean.
