Thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT), DBCO‐amine and dimethylformamide (DMF) were obtained from Sigma‐Aldrich Co. (MO, USA). Sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN) was purchased from TCI (Tokyo, Japan). Poly(vinylidene fluoride) membrane was obtained from Millipore (MA, USA). Cy5.5 NHS ester dye was purchased from GE Healthcare (IL, USA). Foetal bovine serum (FBS), RPMI 1640, Dulbecco's phosphate‐buffered saline (DPBS), antibiotic‐antimycotic (AA) solution (100×) and trypsin‐trypsin‐ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid were purchased from WelGENE (Gyeongsan, Korea). NIH/3T3, CT26, RAW264.7, MDA‐MB‐231 and HCT‐116 were provided by the Korean Cell Line Bank (Seoul, Korea). Water was purified using an AquaMax‐Ultra water purification system from Younglin Co.

Biodistribution of Cy5.5-labeled VNVs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The animals were divided into the following three experimental groups: PBS, IM, and IN. The PBS group received 50 µL of PBS via the IN route and 100 µL of PBS via the IM route. The IM group received 100 µL of a solution containing 50 µg of VNVs and 250 µg of alum via the IM route. The IN group received 50 µL of a solution consisting of 50 µg of VNVs and 2.5 µg of CT via the IN route. Prior to administration, the VNVs were labelled with cy5.5 NHS ester dye (GE, PA15601) and any unbound dyes were removed through two rounds of ultracentrifugation. The mice were euthanized at 0.2, 4, and 24 h after administration, and vital organs (brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, and kidney) were isolated for fluorescence imaging to detect Cy5.5 signals originating from the VNVs.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
