In Vitro Cytotoxicity Assay on Gold Nanoparticles with Different Stabilizing Agents

Noble gold nanoparticles (AuNps) are generally nontoxic due to their inert nature. The gold nanoparticles are easily tagged with various proteins and biomolecules rich in aminoacid leading to important biomedical applications including targeted drug delivery, cellular imaging, and biosensing. In thi...
