Figure 3From: High-density sub-100-nm peptide-gold nanoparticle complexes improve vaccine presentation by dendritic cells in vitroImage and hyperspectral analysis of BMDC loaded AuNVs. (A) Dark-field and hyperspectral images of DCs loaded with AuNVs or DCs only. Only DCs loaded with AuNVs appeared in the dark-field images with the same exposure time. The hyperspectral images show a spectral shift from purple blue to yellow green when the DCs were loaded with AuNVs (scale bars = 10 um). (B) The average spectral data for BMDCs with or without AuNVs, using each cell as regions of interest. The intensities were calibrated to the lamp spectra baseline.Back to article page
