Cells without irradiating had greater viability than NIR-irradiated cells (P < 0.05). Moreover, viability of funguses was higher than that of cells conjuncted with GNR-SiO2-Ab after NIR irradiating (P < 0.05). In addition, cells had higher viability than fungus-antibody-nanorod complexes (P < 0.05)Back to article page
