Methods are needed to assess cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of nanoparticles (NPs). The influence of serum and the use of cytochalasin-B were assessed on the cellular uptake of amorphous silica NPs (SNPs) and their biological effects. Our observations indicate that some methodological approaches may modulate the outcome of the assay. Therefore the experimental design and choice of the assays are of great importance in nanotoxicology.
