INVOLVEMENT OF TWO UPTAKE MECHANISMS OF GOLD AND IRON OXIDE NANOPARTICLES IN A CO-EXPOSURE SCENARIO USING MOUSE MACROPHAGES

Involvement of two uptake mechanisms of gold and iron oxide nanoparticles in a co-exposure scenario using mouse macrophages

Little is known about the simultaneous uptake of different engineered nanoparticle types, as it can be expected in our daily life.In order to test such co-exposure effects, murine macrophages (J774A.1 cell line) were incubated with gold (AuNPs) and iron oxide nanoparticles (FeOxNPs) either alone or combined.Environmental scanning electron microscop
