    <p>The blue color represents the nuclear staining with DAPI. IL13RĪ±2 expression is evident in MPNST, low grade schwannomas and neurofibromas. From the composite images, most of the staining appears to be cytoplasmic as well as nuclear.</p

    Fluorescent microscopic images of sNF96.2 and ST88-14 MPNST cells after exposure to IL13LIPDXR for 2 hours, followed by immunocytochemistry for IL13RĪ±2.

    <p>The green color in the cytoplasmic region represents the expression of IL13RĪ±2 receptor and the red color represents the endogenous fluorescence of the internalized doxorubicin delivered through targeted liposomes. (B) IL13LIPDXR is also able to bind and internalize through multicellular spheroids after exposure for 2 hours as evidenced by confocal microscopy images.

    <p>The analysis was performed 48 hours post injection of the 7mg/kg dose of targeted and non-targeted liposomal doxorubicin. The values were compared with control mice injected with phosphate buffered saline. The levels indicate that liver functional enzymes including bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase are comparable in both the treated and control groups of mice. Creatinine and BUN levels are also comparable to that of untreated control mice, indicating that renal function is not significantly affected due to treatment.</p

    <p>Representative microscopic images from the tissue microarray after IHC for IL13RĪ±2 expression are shown (panel A-F). Malignant Schwannoma distinctly shows robust expression of IL13RĪ±2 in the tissue (D) with positive expression in benign neurofibromas as evident from the IHC (E,F). Normal nerve tissue indicated minimal staining without distinct cellular morphology. No IL13RĪ±2 staining was observed in cancer adjacent normal tissues.</p
