Side scatter analysis of PLA250 and MF366 after 2, 4, 6 and 24 h incubation with HepG2 cells. A Representative Histograms of signals detected by the side scatter after 24 h incubation. The vertical red line shows the threshold between normal cell granularity and increased granularity due to particle uptake (red). B Representative Histograms of measured fluorescence signal correlating to (A). Red labeled counts show cells with high side scatter. C Quantification of the increase of the side scatter after 2, 4, 6 and 24 h incubation. Cells with high granularity are depicted in red and cells with normal granularity in gray. Data are shown as means ± SD, n = 2
