Our previous work compared the antigen loading and unloading capacity of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs), with a variety of different pore sizes, and external diameters (Huang et al. To assess the uptake of the different silica nanoparticles, and to determine whether this was affected by size, porosity or loading, we tested the ability of the particles to be taken up into macrophage-like cells. We investigated a range of sizes of silica nanoparticles to determine the effect on uptake by THP-1 macrophage-like cells. ./cache/cord-010910-hz2vyw6c.txt ./txt/cord-010910-hz2vyw6c.txt
