Cell viability and IL-6 level after magnetic field exposure. (A) Cells were obtained to verify the effects of IONPs–QDs (100 µg/mL) and magnetic field application at four different time periods: 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. Analysis of A20 and CT26 cell viability using trypan blue dye exclusion and an automated cell counter. (B) IL-6 cytokine expression was analyzed at four different conditions: 0 µg/mL IONPs–QDs and 100 µg/mL IONPs–QDs, with or without a magnetic field applied, for 48 h. Quantitative data represent the mean ± S.D. of at least three independent culture experiments. * represents p < 0.05.
