A. Jordan et al., Endocytosis of dextran and silan-coated magnetite nanoparticles and the effect of intracellular hyperthermia on human mammary carcinoma cells in vitro, J MAGN MAGN, 194(1-3), 1999, pp. 185-196
To obtain more evidence for intracellular magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH)
, endocytosis and hyperthermia efficacy of silan and dextran magnetite was
investigated. Differential endocytosis was observed in dependence of nanopa
rticle and cell type. Clonogenic survival was 3-fold lower after MFH versus
waterbath hyperthermia. The selective "remote inactivation" of cancer cell
s by an AC magnetic held has been demonstrated in vitro. (C) 1999 Elsevier
