Figure 1From: The dependency of compound biological effectiveness factors on the type and the concentration of administered neutron capture agents in boron neutron capture therapyTime course of changes in 10B concentrations in the solid tumors (a) and blood collected from the hearts (b) of SCC VII tumor-bearing mice after subcutaneous administration of each 10B-carrier. Left panel of (a) shows time course of changes in tumors following administration of boronophenylalanine-10B at doses of 250 (●), 500 (▲), or 750 (■) mg·kg−1. Right panel of (a) shows time course of changes in tumors following administration of sodium mercaptododecaborate-10B at doses of 125 (●), 250 (▲), or 375 (■) mg·kg−1. (b) shows time course of changes in blood following administration of each 10B-carrier. Solid lines represent boronophenylalanine-10B at the doses of 250 (○), 500 (△), or 750 (□) mg·kg−1. Dotted lines represent sodium mercaptododecaborate-10B at doses of 125 (○), 250 (△), or 375 (□) mg·kg−1. Bars represent standard errors.Back to article page
