Toxicity of P407 nano-micelles.
Notes: (A) In vitro morphology of a mixed primary rat glio-neuronal culture after 72 hours of incubation with 5% P407 in aCSF relative to control. (B) Synaptophysin ELISA of protein isolated from rat brain 21 days after infusion of either aCSF or P407/aCSF nano-micelles and from untreated tumor-bearing animals (one-way ANOVA Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test, P>0.05). (C) Immunofluorescent microscopy of fixed rat brain for neurons (NeuN) and glia (GFAP) 21 days after acute striatal infusion of either aCSF or P407/aCSF nano-micelles.
Abbreviations: aCSF, artificial cerebrospinal fluid; ANOVA, analysis of variance; DAPI, 4,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; NS, not significant; P407, poloxamer 407.
