Figure 10 . (A ) Illustration of self-assembly behavior
of DOX-loaded TPE-PLys-b -PMPC micelles, along with particle size
distribution determined by DLS, the typical morphology of the polymer
micelles detected by TEM, and CLSM images of DOX-loaded micelles after
incubation with HeLa cells for 2, 4, 6, and 8 h. The DOX concentration
is 10 µg/mL (scale bar in images was 10 µm). Reproduced with permission:

Illustration of preparing TPE-TPA-DCM-loaded BSA NPs, along within vivo non-invasive fluorescence imaging of
H22-tumorbearing mice after intravenous injection of
TPE-TPA-DCM-loaded BSA NPs (with TPE-TPA-DCM loading of 0.86 wt%)
(upper picture) and bare TPE-TPA-DCM NPs (lower picture) at same
TPE-TPA-DCM concentration (white circles mark the tumor sites). Ex
vivo fluorescence imaging on tumor tissue and major organs of mice
treated with fluorogen-loaded BSA NPs, which were sacrificed at 24 h
post-injection. Reproduced with permission: Copyright 2011,
