Total histopathology scoring of mice organs after sacrifice.
Organ | Control | Saline | Chitosan@DOTAGA |
---|---|---|---|
Kidney | 2 | 27 | 7 |
Liver | 7 | 19 | 12 |
Spleen | 1 | 6 | 8 |
Heart | 1 | 8 | 5 |
Total score was calculated as a sum of individual scores. At least 5 random fields of view were observed for each magnification (× 100, × 400) from which at least 3 were quantified. N = 7 control, N = 6 Saline & Chitosan@DOTAGA.
Scoring and the assessed parameters for each organ detailed in the Supplementary Information, Table S6.
