Figure 6. Labeling of T6-17 cells with Ho-HER2-SPIO, Sm-RGD-SPIO, Gd-LDS-SPIO and Er-blank-SPIO, as assessed by ICP-MS multiplex analysis.

Figure 6

All targeted nanoparticle formulations were pooled together and incubated with T6-17 cells in the presence of serum supplemented culture medium. Cell uptake was calculated as a relative factor of the starting concentration of lanthanide metal in each Ln-SPIO variant and total lanthanide tracer found in cell pellets. All three samples exhibited statistically significant (p < 0.01) improvements in cell uptake as compared to the non-targeted control.
