Cytotoxicity induced by different forms of silver materials.

<p>(A) Cell viability was measured by WST-1 assay. PMA-primed THP-1 cells were treated with different forms of silver materials for 24 h and the extents of viability for the treated groups (25, 50, 100, and 200 µg/mL) were expressed as a percentage of the control group. Data are represented as the mean ±SD (n = 5). (B) LDH leakage assay due to membrane damage was measured using an LDH Cytotoxicity Detection Kit. PMA-primed THP-1 cells were treated with different forms of silver materials for 24 h and the extents of LDH leakage for the treated groups were expressed as a percentage of the control group. Data are represented as the mean ±SD (n = 5). *p<0.05, **p<0.01.
