Figure 2.
Quantitative whole-body autoradiography. Tissue distribution in mice of two 35S-labelled oligonucleotides, the 12- and 16-mer (A and B, respectively), administered i.v. Individual mice were sacrificed at 24 h post-administration, snap-frozen and sectioned for whole-body autoradiography. Following exposure the imaging plates were scanned, tissues and organs intensity were quantified by image analyses. (C) Area under the curve values normalized to the specific radioactivity of the dose levels of 16-mer (dark bars) and 12-mer (white bars).
