Interaction of silver nanoparticles with Tacaribe virus

Table 1 Nanoparticle size distributions dry and in solution.

	10 nm	10 nm PS	25 nm	25 nm PS
(a) NP TEM size (SD)	10.20 (1.70)	9.48 (4.29)	27.47 (9.06)	25.98 (8.38)
(b) NPs in DMEM (PDI)	1440 (0.277)	658 (0.261)	830 (0.214)	986 (0.217)
(c) 10 μg NP + TCRV (PDI)	503 (0.334)	481 (0.444)	326 (0.366)	305 (0.344)
(d) 50 μg NP + TCRV (PDI)	974 (0.465)	756 (0.462)	524 (0.388)	426 (0.403)

The size distributions of the four Ag-NPs were determined using TEM size measurements with mean particle size and standard deviation (A), and DLS measurements of Ag-NPs alone in DMEM (B), 10 μg of Ag-NPs incubated with TCRV for 1 hour (C), or 50 μg of Ag-NPs incubated with TCRV for 1 hour (D) with average size and polydispersity index.
