Immunohistochemical analysis of the tumor tissues. a Blood vessel density was determined by CD31 staining of snap frozen MDA-MB-231 tumors from the animals treated with the different formulations (Top) and quantified as shown in the graph (Bottom). b Tumor-infiltrating macrophages were determined by F4/80 staining of snap frozen MDA-MB-231 tumors from animals treated with the different formulations (Top) and quantified as shown in the graph (Bottom): two-tailed Mann–Whitney test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. ‘#’ indicates differences between the two groups at each edge of the line; ‘*’ indicates differences between saline group and the indicated one
