Fig 1. Physical barriers to target.

Fig 1

A- Target is on the surface of the endothelium and accessible from the bloodstream. B- Target is at cell surface, and is accessible from the bloodstream only if the endothelial layer is compromised. C- Target is inside the cell. Any probe binding to this target must cross both the endothelium and the cell membrane.
