“…On reaching 80% confluence, the culture medium was replaced with HBSS (2 mL). After 30 min of incubation at 37 • C, the medium was replaced with 1 mL TP5 solution with different concentrations (5,10,50,100,200,500, and 1000 µg/mL in HBSS) and TP5-PEG-niosomes (1 mg TP5 in 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 1.00, 2.00, and 5.00 × 10 12 numbers niosomes per mL in HBSS) and incubated for 4 h at 37 • C to investigate the effect of drug and niosome concentration on TP5 cellular uptake. For time-dependent cellular uptake experiments, the cells were incubated for 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h at 37 • C, respectively.…”
