Enhanced in vivo tumour imaging by EDTA-bis-GNGR functionalized core shell CdSe:ZnS quantum dot: synergistic effect of active passive targeting

Abstract

Use of QD-homodimeric system enhances tumour targeting due to the synergistic effect of active passive targeting.

Toxicological properties of two fluorescent carbon quantum dots with onion ring morphology and their usefulness as bioimaging agents

“…As a comparison, we performed similar experiments with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots, which have been used with for different imaging purposes for due to their intense emission. [35][36][37] These nanoparticles were also internalized into Hep3B cells, but at a lesser extent than C-NORs nanoparticles, as demonstrated by the lower uorescence intensity in the cells (0.457 AE 0.174 a.u. for CdZn/ZnS vs. 1.002 AE 0.116 a.u.…”
