In the present study, we investigated the clinicopathological changes associated with administration of GNPs and anti-EGFR-GNPs in healthy and tumor-induced hamsters, respectively. Systemic repeated I/P injection of {u2248}18 nm naked GNPs (as verified by transmission electron microscope) at a dose of 30 ppb daily for 2 weeks induced macrocytosis, hypochromasia, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, mild lymphocytosis and monocytosis. Hepatic and renal function parameters remained unchanged in GNPs-treated hamsters when compared to control group ER -
