Quantitative cell uptake assay of rhodamine B-labelled Au@SiO2 nanoparticles (NP) or rhodamine B-labelled MTX-FA loaded Au@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPD) in MCF-7 (a) and MDA-MB-231(b) cell lines for exposure durations of 0.5 h, 1.5 h and 3h obtained by flow cytometry. Non-treated cells of both cell lines were employed as negative control. c Comparison of mean fluorescent intensity of rhodamine B-labelled Au@SiO2 nanoparticles (NP) or rhodamine B-labelled MTX-FA loaded Au@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPD) for exposure durations of 0.5 h, 1.5 h and 3h obtained by flow cytometry
