Interactions with erythrocytes and macrophages. Upper part: the degree of haemolysis produced by anti-CA125 GNRs at various concentrations is reported and compared with that produced by PEGylated GNRs. Data are referred to positive controls that were obtained by dosing ultrapure water to induce a complete haemolysis. Lower part: the absence of silver deposition shows that particles are not internalized by macrophages.
