Effect of Coated Silver Nanoparticles on Cancerous vs. Healthy Cells

Figure 5

Morphological changes of BHK-21 cells exposure Ag NPs. The cells morphology after Ag NPs treatment were analyzed by fluorescent microscopy after staining with acridine orange. In noncancerous cell BHK-21, regardless of nanoparticles concentrations the cellular parameters were similar to the untreated control cells. Red arrows show necrotic cells, and blue arrows − mitotic cells, while purple arrows show conglomerates of NPs (280× magnification).
