Figure S1. Cytotoxicity assays. (A) HEK293T cells were incubated with different concentrations of mSiO2 particles for 48 h and their metabolic response was determined by the MTS assay. (B) Nanoparticles cytotoxic effect (10-5 g mL-1) was measured by flow cytometry on red emitting HEK293T cells co-transfected with DsRed expression vector.

Figure S2. Fluorescence assay of cells treated with nanoparticles. HEK293TCD4 cells were incubated with the nanoparticles prepared in this work (10-5 g mL-1) for 48 h. Cells nuclei were stained with DAPI and appear fluorescent blue. These images were used as negative control and illustrate the cytotoxicity test in Fig. S1 B. Scale bars: 10 μm.

Figure S3. Fluorescence images of negative controls of HIV tests with HEK293TCD4 cells. Images represent cells treated with nanoparticles, non-treated with HIV used in the two assays performed with HIV (in Fig. 4). Scale bars: 10 μm.
