Enhancement in MRI/CT contrast and internalisation efficacy of nanoparticles. a Slight enhancement of T1 MRI contrast was observed in Hsp-70 Lf-PEG-ZF compared to ferrite nanoparticles. b Significant enhancement of T2 MRI contrast was observed in Hsp-70 Lf-PEG-ZF compared to ferrite nanoparticles. c Slight enhancement of CT contrast was observed in Hsp-70 Lf-PEG-ZF compared to ferrite nanoparticles. d Confocal microscopy internalization images and cell cytometric internalization assessment displaying time-dependent internalization of Hsp-70 Lf-ZF, Hsp-70 Ch-Lf-ZF and Hsp-70 Lf-PEG-ZF nanocomplexes in THP-1 cells and e Jurkat cells. Effective internalization was observed at 2 h Hsp-70 Lf-ZF nanocomplex post-treatment
