Figure 3.
Confocal microscopy of fluorescein-labelled DBBC-SNA and immunofluorescence staining of organelle markers (red, labelled by Alexa Fluor 663). Biomarkers are Rab9 (for late endosomes) and LAMP-1 (for lysosomes). Note that most DBBC-SNAs colocalize with late endosomes during the incubation in HeLa cells. There is no significant colocalization of DBBC-SNAs with lysosomes, which is consistent with the behaviour of AuNP-SNAs.
