Quantum dots for tracking dendritic cells and priming an immune response in vitro and in vivo.

Quantum dots for tracking dendritic cells and priming an immune response in vitro and in vivo.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in initiating adaptive immune response by presenting antigen to T cells in lymphoid organs. Here, we investigate the potential of quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescent nanoparticles for in vitro and in vivo imaging of DCs, and as a particle-based antigen-delivery sy...
