Increasing Efficacy for Lung Cancer Chemotherapeutics: Targeted Drug Delivery via the Protocell

BEAS-2B Cell Line

BEAS-2B Cell Line

Figure 4: BEAS-2B cell line: No binding of the EGF targeted protocell on the negative control BEAS-2B cell line displayed on the left. No binding on the negative control BEAS-2B cell line when no treatment was added displayed in the middle. No binding of the non-targeted protocell on the negative control BEAS-2B cell line displayed on the right. The stains seen in the confocal images above correspond as follows: Dapi nuclear stain (contained in the VECTASHIELD HardSet Mounting Medium with DAPI), Invitrogen CellTracker Green CMFDA the cytosol, Thermo Scientific Dylight 633 red the silica in the protocell. All images are 40x z-stack maximum intensity projections.
