“…Moreover, due to gold nanoparticles on the surface of GMNP, the process of coupling antibody on the surface of GMNP was simple and convenient. Meanwhile, CdTe quantum dots (QDs) (semiconductor nanocrystals) exhibit several unique optical properties such as high fluorescence intensity, narrow emission line, wide stimulation spectral line, continuously adjustable emission wavelength along with particle size and resistance to photobleaching (He et al, 2007;Wang et al, 2016;Zhang, Long, & Zheng, 2016), which can be exploited in optoelectronics, biomedicine and food safety detection. In this paper, GMNP bound to the monoclonal antibody (McAb) was used as capture probe, while CdTe QDs labelled with the polyclonal antibody (PcAb) was employed as detection probe.…”
