Background:
In medicine, there is limited knowledge on the toxicity of nanoparticles. In medicine, there has been limited knowledge on the effect of nanoparticles on the white blood cell.
Objective:
To evaluate the effect of gold nanoparticle on the microscopic morphology of white blood cell.
Setting:
Chulalongkorn Univesity, Bangkok, Thailand.
Method:
This study was performed as an experimental study. Mixture of gold nanoparticle solution and blood sample was prepared and analysed.
Result:
This work revealed that after mixing the blood sample with gold nanoparticle solution, accumulation of gold nanoparticle in the white blood cell was observed.
Conclusion:
The effect of gold nanoparticle on the white blood cell can be detected and this knowledge can be used in cytotoxic drug treatment.
