The In Vitro Immunomodulatory Effects of Gold Nanocomplex on THP-1-Derived Macrophages

Figure 3

Measurement of the gene expression level of cytokines secreted by macrophages treated with the following: nanocomplex (a drug-conjugated gold nanorods), the free drug (phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3Kα) inhibitor) and  GNR; cholesterol-coated gold nanorods, and compared to the control untreated cells by qPCR.
