Table 1.

Average sizes and zeta potentials of NPs.

Particle Size (nm) Surface charge (mV)
PLGA NPs 170 ± 6.1 −16 ± 3.5
PLGA-TAT NPs 225 ± 33 −9.8 ± 2.8
PTX/PLGA NPs 297 ± 55 −9.3 ± 4
PTX/PLGA-TAT NPs 250 ± 35 −15 ± 4.3

Data represents an average ± standard deviation of at least 3 identically and independently prepared samples. PTX/PLGA NPs were significantly larger than PLGA NPs (ANOVA, Tukey test means comparison, p<0.05). Other NPs were not significantly different from each other in size.
