Cytotoxicity Comparison of the Nanoparticles Deposited on Latex Rubber Bands between the Original and Stretched State
Figure 2
Human gingival fibroblast (HGF) viability following exposure to the extracts from the “3L” and “L” latex rubber bands of GP, UN, and EX. The following dilutions were used: (a) 50%; (b) 25%; (c) 12.5%; (d) 6.25%. The difference in the cell viability was statically determined under a few experimental conditions (, , ; between the “3L” and “L” extracts of each evaluated product). 3L: stretched to three times its length, L: original length. Representative results are shown after the experiments were performed in triplicate.
