Figure 2.
Impact of C225-HAuNS on laser-induced increase in tumor temperature. C225-HAuNS or saline was injected into mice bearing subcutaneous A431 tumors. At 24 h after injection, tumors were irradiated with laser at 808 nm at 4 w/cm2 for 3 min. (A) Representative MRTI images of C225-HAuNS-treated mice before laser treatment (t = 5 s), during laser treatment (t = 105 s), just before the end of laser treatment (t = 210 s), and after laser treatment (t = 310 s). Red box indicates where the data is taken. (B) Comparison of temperature increase in C225-HAuNS-treated and saline-treated mice at different time points at the region of interest (red box in [A]). (C) Image of tumors at t=210 s (maximal temperature increase). The dashed white arrow from the surface going to the inner part of the tumor indicates where the data was sampled for temperature vs. depth plot (D).
