Magnesium Oxide in Nanodimension: Model for MRI and Multimodal Therapy

Figure 11

Rhodamine antibody IgG is used as a contrast agent for antibody-antigen linkage. The slides labelled as (a), (d), and (g) are the real micrograph obtained from confocal microscope, showing the linkage of MgO nanostructures with the respective neurons, microglia, and astrocytes in a rat brain. The slides (b), (e), and (h) labelled as anti-type I collagen are used as the green background to determine the cellular structure. The slides labelled as (c), (f), and (i) are the images produced by merging (a) to (b), (d) to (e), and (g) to (h) images obtained by computer-aided techniques which give a better contrast IF image.
