Figure 4.
Confocal microscopy analysis of intracellular disposition of mRNA- and pDNA-based vectors 4 h after their addition in HCE-2 cells. (A) CleanCap™ Cyanine 5 EGFP mRNA (5moU) vectors formulated with P, DX and HA. (B) pcDNA3-EGFP plasmid labeled with Label IT® Cy®5 vectors. Blue: nuclei labeled with DAPI. Red: fluorescence signal of nucleic acid labeled with Cy®5. Magnification 60×. Scale bar: 15 µm. DX: dextran; HA: hyaluronic acid; SLNEE: solid lipid nanoparticle prepared by emulsification-evaporation method. SLNHM: solid lipid nanoparticle prepared by hot-melt emulsification method. SLNC: solid lipid nanoparticle prepared by coacervation method.
