In this study, we address the issue of cytotoxicity and immunogenic effects of gold nanoparticles on RAW264.7 macrophage cells. The cytotoxicity of gold nanoparticles has been correlated with a detailed study of their endocytotic uptake using various microscopy tools such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), confocal-laser-scanning microscopy (CFLSM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Our findings suggest that Au(0) nanoparticles are not cytotoxic, reduce the production of reactive oxygen and nitrite species, and do not elicit secretion of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL1-, making them suitable candidates for nanomedicine. AFM measurements suggest that gold nanoparticles are internalized inside the cell via a mechanism involving pinocytosis, while CFLSM and TEM studies indicate their internalization in lysosomal bodies arranged in perinuclear fashion. Our studies thus underline the noncytotoxic, nonimmunogenic, and biocompatible properties ofgold nanoparticles with the potential for application in nanoimmunology, nanomedicine, and nanobiotechnology.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.993</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shukla, Sourabh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Priscilla, Anie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banerjee, Meenal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhonde, Ramesh R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghatak, J.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Satyam, P.

In this paper we describe a simple galvanic replacement reaction (transmetalation reaction) involving sacrificial silver nanoparticles and Au(III) ions using a dialysis membrane. The dialysis membrane acts as a partial barrier that provides excellent control over the kinetics of reaction. This process results in the formation of porous gold nanospheres that improve the fluorescence in cell staining by offering an enhanced surface area for binding of the fluorescent dye, propidium iodide (PI). Such porous nanostructures could be ideal candidates for applications such as catalysis, enzyme immobilization, and drug delivery.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9.407</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Britto, Virginia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tiwari, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Purohit, V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadgaonkar, P.

As compared to the other methods the decrease in contact angle obtained here does not depend much on the plasma treatment thus affecting the polymer structure minimally. A combination of surface roughness provided by the gold nanoparticles and the presence of amine groups of lysine is hypothesized to be the reason for the features observed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5.099</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murawala, Priyanka</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phadnis, S.

BSA reduces silver ions to silver nanoparticles but does not directly reduce gold ions to gold nanoparticles at room temperature and varying pH conditions. However, when silver and gold ions are simultaneously added to BSA, silver ions get reduced to metallic silver first and these in turn reduce gold ions to gold nanoparticles through a galvanic exchange reaction. The so synthesized silver and gold nanoparticles are easily water dispersible and can withstand addition of salt even at high concentrations. It is shown that the capped protein retains its secondary structure and the helicity to a large extent on the nanoparticles surface and that the protein capping makes the nanoparticles cytocompatible.
