AHAPS-SiO2-NP (55 ± 6 nm diameter)were topically applied on intact, tape stripped or on inflamed skin of SKH1 mice with induced allergic contact dermatitis for one or five consecutive days, respectively. Penetration of AHAPS-SiO2-NP through the skin was not observed regardless of the kind of barrier disruption. However, only after subcutaneous injection, AHAPS-SiO2-NP were incorporated by macrophages and transported to the regional lymph node only. Adverse effects on cells or tissues were not observed. In conclusion, AHAPS-SiO2-NP seemto not cross the normal or perturbed mouse skin.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nano.2014.04.004} (DOI).
