Figure Lengend Snippet: Ex vivo analysis of multi-color probe uptake. Tumors from animals injected with targeted nanoprobes were excised at 24 h post-injection and imaged on macro- and microscopic imaging platforms. a SWIR and d confocal imaging of Rh-fHoANCs in a 4175TR tumor, b, e FITC-fErANCs in a MCF7 tumor, and c, f 647-fTmANCs in a SKOV3 tumor. Confocal images d, e, f were obtained by measuring the signal from the visible fluorophores loaded into each probe (rhodamine, FITC, Alexa Fluor 647, respectively) Panels b , c , f , g , j , and k each present two representative animals from each experimental group.
Article Snippet: 1 × 10 4175TR cells were inoculated into the left dorsal flank and 5 × 10 6 MCF7 cells were inoculated in the right dorsal flank of 3–4-week-old female athymic nude mice (Taconic Biosciences, Hudson, NY) supplemented with 17β-estradiol pellets releasing estradiol at a rate of 16.66 μg/day.
