Toxicity studies of MNPs toward SiHa and red blood cells. (A) SiHa cell proliferation with varied concentration of MNPs after 48 h treatment measured by MTS assay. Data presented is average of five treatment wells and error bars drawn are from standard error of the mean). (B) Percentage hemolysis measured after treating the red blood cells with plain MNPs and mucin bound MNPs after 1 h of incubation of RBCs with particles. Data presented is average of five measurements and error bars drawn are from standard error of the mean.
