(A) The therapeutic processes of MCC in Balb/c mice bearing 4T1 tumors. All mice were intravenously injected once for therapy. NIR laser was applied at 24 h post-injection (808 nm, 0.3 or 0.96 W/cm2, 3 min; (B) B1-B3: Confocal images of tumor sections stained with SOSG after intramural injection of CC or MCC plus NIR irradiation. Scale bars represent 100 µm; B4: Representative immunofluorescence images of tumor slices after hypoxia staining. Green and red fluorescence represent hypoxic areas and nuclei, respectively; Scale bars represent 100 µm; B5: Near-infrared thermography of mice treated with different samples under laser irradiation.
