Metallic gold is not completely inert towards biological tissues and cells. Cytotoxicity and immunotoxicity are concerns in various gold applications. This study shows that treating the surface of gold with OH• radicals renders the gold surface non-cytotoxic, as well as prevents any biocorrosion of gold implants by an immune reaction. The detoxification is discussed as resulting from the selective dissolution of active gold atoms from the surface.

通过 OH• 处理对金表面进行解毒

金属金对生物组织和细胞并不完全惰性。细胞毒性和免疫毒性是各种金应用中的问题。该研究表明，用 OH• 自由基处理金表面可使金表面无细胞毒性，并防止免疫反应对金植入物造成任何生物腐蚀。解毒被讨论为由于活性金原子从表面的选择性溶解而产生的。
