FACS sorted monocyte subsets were incubated with four different iron-oxide nanoparticles (Ferumoxides, SHU 555C, CLIO-680, MION-48) at 100 µg Fe/ml for 2 h. Differences in intracellular iron contents between the subsets were assessed by ANOVA. P-values indicate significant differences in intracellular iron-content between the monocyte subsets. n = 3-5 for each bar graph. Iron levels of non-labeled control monocytes were below the detection limit.
