“…After culture at 37°C for 24 h in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 10% fetal bovine serum, the medium was replaced with Opti-MEM containing AuNP-loaded dendrimers ([Au] = 200 µM, 100 µL) and incubated at 25°C and 37°C for 6 h. The cells were then washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) twice, and fresh Opti-MEM (100 µL) was added to the cells. The cells were irradiated by green laser light (532 nm, 50 mW, 6.9 µm) at 37°C using a Thermo Plate (TR-110R05, Tokai Hit Co. Ltd., Shizuoka, Japan) for 1 min, and with a fluorescence microscope (IX71, Olympus Co., Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a laser irradiation system (SIGMA KOKI Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) [23]. The live or dead assay was performed according to our previous reports [16,23].…”
