... fullerene [61]. It has been demonstrated that silver nanoparticles undergo a size dependent interaction with HIV-1 virus, with nanoparticles exclusively in the range of 1Ð10 nm attached to the virus [294]. Due to this interaction, silver nanoparticles inhibit the virus from binding to host cells, as demonstrated in vitro. 5. Physico-chemical characteristics dependent toxicity From previous knowledge o...
