One-step synthesized immunostimulatory oligonucleotides-functionalized quantum dots for simultaneous enhanced immunogenicity and cell imaging

Emerging nanoparticle platforms for CpG oligonucleotide delivery

“…Similarly, for the first time, Tao et al also devised the facile one-step synthesis of CpG-functionalized CdTe quantum dots that combined fascinating characteristics of cell imaging and enhanced immunogenicity. 125 Furthermore, Ming et al employed palladium nanosheets as carriers to load the immunoadjuvant CpG, which could be effectively applied to combinatorial cancer photothermal and immunotherapy both in vitro and in vivo . 126 Recently, Chen and coworkers proposed an efficient anticancer strategy with integrated chemodynamic/photodynamic/photothermal modalities by in situ constructing black phosphorous/palladium nanosheets.…”

Simultaneous fluoroimmunoassay of two tumor markers based on CdTe quantum dots and gold nanocluster coated-silica nanospheres as labels

“…These advantages make QDs potential candidates as signal tags in immunoassay eld. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Moreover, when QDs are functionalized with bio-recognition molecules such as antibodies, 21 peptides 22 and oligonucleotides, 23 it can also emit strong uorescence. Based on the feature, QDs will become attractive uorescent probes in biolabeling and imaging led.…”

Photocurrent enhancement of SiNW-FETs by integrating protein-shelled CdSe quantum dots

“…[15][16][17][18][19][20] In addition, they can be combined with various nanomaterials to synthesize functional nanomaterials for the purpose of cell imaging, protein harvesting and drug delivery. [21][22][23] Protein shells (PSs), self-assembled multi-subunit protein complexes in hollow spheres, have been used as bio-templates for the synthesis and stabilization of metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles. By using PSs, it is possible to synthesize nanoparticles with a confined size under ambient conditions, as demonstrated by the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles using a bacterial protease PepA.…”
