Figure 2. Liposomal nanoparticle stability over time.

Figure 2

The stability of the liposomes was evaluated using the self-quenching CF technique. A) Representative images of the technique are shown to illustrate the significant increase in CF fluorescence intensity only after treatment with TritonX. Little release of CF was noted prior to treatment. No change in Rhodamine fluorescence was observed following treatment with TritonX. B) Quantified mean fluorescence intensity demonstrates approximately 10-fold increase in fluorescein fluorescence after treatment with TritonX to disrupt the liposomes and release the encapsulated dye. C) Relative stability (%) of the liposomes demonstrates that the proposed NPs are very stable.
