Figure 3. Change of body weight after injection in BALB/c mice inoculated with Heps cancer cells. Taxol® (•), plain liposome (▴) and pH-sensitive liposome (▾) was intravenously injected (20 mg/kg). Normal saline (▀) was injected as a control. The zero point of X-axis indicates the first day of PTX injection. Each data represents the mean±standard deviation (n = 5).
