Anticancer effects of different formulations. A Volume change of tumor in mice during the treatment. B Weight change of the tumor-bearing mice during the treatment. C Weights of HeLa tumors and the non-tumor body weight after being treated by different formulations. D Histological section of the tumor of the mice after the treatment. (a) 0.9% NaCl aqueous solution, (b) the mixture of bulk DOX and MTX, (c) the mixture of Au-Cys-MTX NCs and Au-Cys-DOX NCs, and (d) Au-Cys-MTX/DOX NCs. All DOX-MTX formulations used the same concentration of DOX and MTX in mice bearing HeLa tumor. P < 0.05
