Influence of PEG modifications on macrophage clearance in transgenic zebrafish. DiI labeled liposomes modified with the indicated PEG molecular weights were injected into the blood circulation of zebrafish 2 days post fertilization. Confocal images were acquired 3 and 24 h post injection (hpi). Colocalization analysis of green fluorescent macrophages (KAEDE) and DiI labeled liposomes was performed based on normalized overlap colocalization coefficients. Values are means ± SEM, n = 3. *P < 0.1 or **P < 0.05 (multiple comparison using ANOVA assuming equal variance and Bonferroni correction) as compared to 90 nm sized PEG350 liposomes.
