Fig. 3From: Indocyanine green and poly I:C containing thermo-responsive liposomes used in immune-photothermal therapy prevent cancer growth and metastasisAnti-cancer effect of piTRL treatment followed by laser irradiation against CT-26 carcinoma and B16 melanoma. BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were subcutaneously (s.c.) inoculated with 1 × 106 CT-26 and B16 cells, respectively. The mice were intratumorally (i.t.) injected with PBS, TRL, iTRL, or piTRL on day 7 of tumor cell injection and were treated with or without laser irradiation at a power density of 1 W/cm2 for 5 min. a CT-26 (left panel) and B16 (right panel) tumor mass is shown on day 21 of tumor injection. b Tumor growth curves for CT-26 carcinoma with or without laser irradiation. c B16 melanoma tumor growth curves for the mice in the presence or absence of laser irradiation. Data are from the analyses of six individual mice (three mice per experiment for a total of two independent experiments)Back to article page
