with time following intravenous injection (on days 0, 4, 8 and 12)
of Gem (red −▼–, 7 mg·kg–1), Gem-PI nanoparticles [blue −●– (Gem-PI9) and blue --●-- (Gem-PI28), 7 mg·kg–1 Gem-equivalent dose], control (green −■–,
saline 0.9%) and PI nanoparticles [gray −▲–,
(PI9) and gray --▲--, (PI28), same dose
of polymer as Gem-PI]. White arrows point to the position of the implanted
tumor on representative mouse at end point for Gem-treated group (inset
1) and Gem-PI28-treated group (inset 2). Adapted with permissions
