Confocal microscopy of GNR–siRNA carriers with co-adsorbed HS-PEG-folate internalized by SKOV-3 cells. siRNA duplexes are DTC-anchored and labeled with a fluorescent dye (Dy547). (a,b) SKOV-3 cells after 24-h incubation with GNR–(Dy547)siRNA (85 pM) plus control (Ctrl–); (c) SYBR Green I counterstain of nuclear dsDNA and cytoplasmic RNA; (d) Overlay of a and c showing cytoplasmic localization of GNR–siRNA. Bar = 30 μm.
