Fluorescence techniques used to measure interactions between hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and epidermal growth factor receptors by Kathawala, Mustafa H., Khoo, Stella P. K., Sudhaharan, Thankiah, Zhao, Xinxin, Loo, Joachim Say Chye, Ahmed, Sohail, Ng, Kee Woei

“…To examine the interaction between nanoparticles and cell membrane receptors, this report describes the use of advanced fluorescence techniques to measure interactions between hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles and epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFRs), as a model system. FITC-labelled HA nanoparticles and monomeric red fluorescent protein (mRFP)-conjugated EGFRs expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) were generated and their interaction measured using acceptor photobleaching-fluorescence resonance energy transfer (AP-FRET) and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy-fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FLIM-FRET). …”
