Figure 4

(a) Concentrations (μg/mg tissue) of Fe recovered from spleens, lungs, and livers of mice injected with MNP suspensions. Iron measurements were obtained using inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) from processed tissues that were collected 48 hours after intravenous injection. Symbols display individual data obtained from a single mouse and median values within a group are indicated by a horizontal line. (b) Plot showing total recovered Fe (total mass in μg) measured by ICP-MS from tissues as described in (a). (■) represents CM-dextran MNP, (▲) represents PEG-PEI MNP, (▼) represents methoxy-PEG-phosphate + rutin MNP, (♦) represents dextran MNP, (*) represents uncoated MNP.
