Semiconductor quantum dots for labeling glycoproteins on cell membrane
In this report, quantum dots conjugated with 3-aminophenylboronic acids tag are used in imaging sialic acid moieties on the HePG2 hepatic cancer cells. Labeling of cancer cells are enabled due to the affinity of QDs probes towards the carbohydrate enriched coating or sialic acids that are overexpre...
