The localization of F-actin in HepG2 cells. The cells were cultured for 24 h stained first for F-actin with phalloidin (A1-control cells, B1-cells cultivated on thin films of dextran, C1- cells cultivated on thin films of dextran coated 1% maghemite nanoparticles, D1- cells cultivated on thin films of dextran coated 5% maghemite nanoparticles), then incubated with DAPI for the detection of nuclei (A2, B2, C2, D2) and examined by fluorescence microscopy. A3, B3, C3, D3 images represent the previous images superimposed. The images shown are representative for five independent experiments.
