From: Apoptotic efficacy of multifaceted biosynthesized silver nanoparticles on human adenocarcinoma cells

Annexin V FITC/PI staining was used to assess the mode of cell death. RAgNPs treated MCF-7 cells showed an increased percentage of apoptotic population after 24 h incubation. The population of early and late apoptotic cells percentage in the control group found to be lower and the live cells percentage was higher in control cells compared with experimental groups. A significant decrease (***p < 0.001) in the live cells and increase in the early, late apoptosis and dead cells percentage were observed in treated MCF-7 cells.
