Near-infrared quantum dots labelled with a tumor selective tetrabranched peptide for in vivo imaging

Abstract Background Near-infrared quantum dots (NIR QDs) are a new class of fluorescent labels with excellent bioimaging features, such as high fluorescence intensity, good fluorescence stability, sufficient electron density, and strong tissue-penetrating ability. For all such features, NIR QDs have...
