Quantification of the survival fractions in PC3 cells irradiated with 2 Gy, using two different dose rate values (25.7 mGy/min and 1 Gy/min) of Co-60, following incubation with AuNP-TDOTA and AuNP-BBN at a concentration of 36 µg Au/mL. Statistical significance was calculated using two-tailed Student’s t-test with irradiation-only cells as the control (* p ≤ 0.05) and between treatment groups (** p ≤ 0.001). The results were calculated from independent biological replicates (n = 2) and are given as the mean ± S.E.M.
