Targeted Plasmonic Photothermal Therapy In Vivo

(A) Thermal images of mouse hips after tail-vein injection of DPBS (AI), AG-AuNPs (AII) modified, or AS42-AuNPs (AIII) after 5 min of laser irradiation at 1.2 W. (B) Changes in the hip girth within tumors. The treatment has been performed on days 7, 9, and 11. (C) The representative images of the tumors of treated and non-treated mice are on day 11 treated with (I) DPBS only; (II) DPBS and 5 min of laser irradiation, (III) AG-AuNPs and 5 min of laser irradiation (IV) AS42-AuNPs and 5 min of laser irradiation. All data are presented as the mean ± SEM.
