TL;DR: The data indicate that 2.5 µg mL−1 Ag/AgCl-NPs represents the safest dose tested here, which affects GBM02 proliferation, with limited effect on astrocytes, and shows that HCA is a useful approach to evaluate the antiproliferative effect of nanoparticles against tumor cells.

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles
Jose Ruben Morones,Jose Luis Elechiguerra,A. Camacho,Katherine B. Holt,Juan B. Kouri,Jose Tapia Ramirez,Miguel Jose Yacaman +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the bactericidal properties of the nanoparticles are size dependent, since the only nanoparticles that present a direct interaction with the bacteria preferentially have a diameter of approximately 1-10 nm.
