Quantification of uptake of particles in HepG2 cells after 24 h (A) and 2, 4, 6, 24 h (B) incubation. A Representative Histograms depicting the count of fluorescence signals dependent on the fluorescence intensity. The vertical red line shows the division between intrinsic fluorescence of the cells (see medium) and increasing fluorescence signals after particle uptake. The percentage of the uptake is depicted in the upper right corner. B Mean fluorescence increase after incubation of HepG2 with particles after 2, 4, 6, and 24 h incubation, respectively. Quantification was determined related to medium. Data are shown as means ± SD, n = 3
