THP-1 membrane integrity and proliferation/metabolic activity. A) Measurement of membrane integrity plotted as % LDH release based and positive and negative control. Only AgNW28 lead to a significant release of LDH into the supernantant. B) Proliferation and metabolic activity was measured using alamarBlue®. Cell treated with AgNW28 showed decreased proliferation. Significance versus vehicle control *P <0.05, **P <0.01. Data represent mean ± s.e.m. of n = 5.
