Article Snippet: A 10 μL fluorophore solution of either ICG (Across Organics) pre-mixed with bovine serum albumin (BSA) (MP Biomedicals, New Zealand) at a concentration of 150 μg/mL ICG and 60 mg/mL BSA or LI-COR IRDye 800CW PEG was then injected intradermally into the tip of the tail for fluorescence imaging (Figure ).

Techniques: Injection

Figure Lengend Snippet: Draining lymph nodes enlarge 1 and 2 weeks after ICG injection. (A) Representative microscopy images of sciatic lymph nodes without injection, 1 week after BSA control injection, and 1 and 2 weeks after ICG injection. Grid squares = 25 mm 2 . (B) Projected two-dimensional area of lymph nodes prior to injection, 1 and 2 weeks after ICG injection, and 1 week after control BSA injection. Data is compiled for both sciatic lymph nodes at each time point. Error bars represent standard deviation. * p < 0.001.
