Fig. 6: Application of TPE-DPY/CB[7]/CB[8]@HACD in targeted imaging for cancer cells.

a, b Confocal microscopy images and merged images of Hela cells in the presence of TPE-DPY/CB[7]/CB[8]@HACD, Hoechst and Mito-Tracker Green. c Confocal microscopy images and merged images of 293T cells in the presence of TPE-DPY/CB[7]/CB[8]@HACD and Hoechst. ([TPE-DPY] = 1 × 10−5 M, [CB[7]] = 2 × 10−5 M, [CB[8]] = 1 × 10−5 M, [HACD] = 0.018 mg/ml, Green channel: 450−550 nm, red channel: 650−800 nm, each experiment was repeated two times independently with similar results).
