The in vitro photothermal and photodynamic efficiencies of PDFI nanoparticles.

Notes: The infrared thermal images (A), the temperature profiles (B) and the 1O2 generations (C) of PBS solution, DFI nanocores and PDFI nanoparticles irradiated by an 808-nm laser (/L) at a powder density of 2 W/cm2 for 10 min. The concentrations of IR780 in all formulations were 100 μg/mL. **p<0.01 compared with the control (PBS/L).

Abbreviations: DFI, IR780-loaded DOPE/PF68 complex; DOPE, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine; PDFI, pullulan coated DFI nanocore; PF68, Pluronic F68; PBS, phosphate buffer saline.
