Folic Acid-conjugated AgInS2 Quantum Dots for in vitro Cancer Cell Imaging
quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized using hot colloidal method and transferred into water via a ligand exchange route. To enhance the stability of these QDs
dBSA was coated on the aqueous QDs as a ligand shell. After dBSA modification
a size increase was observed from the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results. The prepared dBSA-MPA QDs exhibited good monodispersity
enhanced stability (stable for 4 weeks) and bright photoluminescence. Then the QDs were functionalized with folic acid (FA) and the successful conjugation was confirmed by the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The resulting FA-dBSA-MPA QDs nanocomposites were tested in breast cancer cells (MCF-7 cells) with elevated folate receptor expression. Compared to the unconju-gated dBSA-MPA QDs
the presence of FA on the surface of QDs significantly improved the uptake rate of the nanop-articles by the cancer cells.
