Cellular localization of Rho-labeled LMWP-drug conjugates in A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cells. Free CPT, Rho-labeled CPT-PR, Rho-labeled CPT-PR-LMWP, Rho-labeled CPT-PR-LMWP and heparin mixture, and Rho-labeled CPT-PR-LMWP, heparin, and protamine mixture were overlaid onto cultured A2780 cells in the presence of 10% FBS. Cellular localization was monitored by confocal microscopy. (1) Free CPT; (2) Rho-labeled CPT-PR; (3) Rho-labeled CPT-PR-LMWP; (4) Rho-labeled CPT-PR-LMWP and heparin mixture; (5) Rho-labeled CPT-PR-LMWP, heparin, and protamine mixture. (A) 430 nm (blue) detection; (B) 560 nm (red) detection; (C) overlaid (A + B). Reproduced with permission from 61.
