“…QD’s are primarily modified with MPA through biphasic ligand exchange to attain active –COO - group on the surface of QD’s. These QD MPA are allowed for modification with NH 2 -(PEG) 8 -COOH (PEG) and finally conjugated with SA molecules with EDC/NHS coupling chemistry as mentioned in the earlier reports 46 . The conjugation of PEG and SA on the surface of QDs was successfully achieved by adding an equimolar mixture of 1 mM EDC and NHS which was prepared in the MES (2-(N-morpholino) ethane sulfonic acid) buffer at 4 °C (all the reactions are to be worked under the chilling condition to maintain the integrity of the PEG and SA).…”

Cancer cell heterogeneity (CCH) is crucial in understanding cancer progression and metastasis. The CCH is one of the stumbling blocks in modern medicine's therapeutics and diagnostics . An in-vitro model of co-culture systems of MCF-7, HeLa, HEK-293, with THP-1 cells showed the occurrence of EpCAM positive (EpCAM+) and EpCAM negative (EpCAM−) heterogenetic cancer cell types labeled with the Quantum Dot antibody conjugates (QDAb). This in-vitro model study could provide insights into the role of rare cancer cells manifestation and their heterogeneity in metastatic progression and risk for severe infections in these patients. We successfully report the presence of CCH based on the fluorescence ratios of the co-cultured cancer cells when treated with the QDAb. These short-term mimic co-cultures give a compelling and quite associated model for assessing early treatment responses in various cancers.

Cancer cell heterogeneity (CCH) is a key element in understanding cancer progression and metastasis. CCH is one of the challenges in therapeutics and diagnostics stumbling block in modern medicine. An in-vitro model of co-culture systems of MCF-7, HeLa, HEK-293, with THP-1 cells showed the occurrence of CTCs like cells with EpCAM+ and other cancer cell heterogenetic types with the Quantum Dot antibody conjugates (QDAb). This in-vitro model study could provide insights into the role of rare cancer cells and heterogeneity in metastasis, as well as the severity of infections in these patients. We successfully reported the presence of CCH based on the fluorescence ratios of the co-culture cancer cells. These short-term mimic co-cultures give a compelling and quite associated model for estimating early treatment responses in various types of cancers.

“…[43] Several reports have raised concerns about the toxicity of cadmium-based QDs in biological applications. [42,[44][45][46][47] The discovery of cadmium ion (Cd 2+ ) presence showed it to be the primary cause of cytotoxicity. To counteract the toxicity of QDs, a coating of inorganic material was utilized to coat the core QDs, preventing oxidation and photobleaching of the core cadmium.…”

Quantum dots (QD) with chemical composition QD 650CdSe=ZnS_Ni were successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method and chemical precipitation. The nanocrystalline phase of the nanostructures was isolated and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mean crystalline size doped core/shell Ni-dopant range was 9.0 ± 2.0 nm. The ferromagnetic data revealed the magnetic behaviour of QD 650CdSe=ZnS_Ni . The optical absorption measurements of these QDs were in the UV-visible light range 200-800 nm for a band gap value of 2.11 eV for QD 650 CdSe=ZnS_Ni . This means that pure QD 650CdSe and QD 650 CdSe=ZnS_Ni underwent a redshift when compared with bulk CdSe. For QD 650CdSe=ZnS_Ni there was successful uptake by cell lines including HeLa and MCF-7 for bioimaging and sorting applications.
