Labelling of cells with quantum dots

Open access
Parak, Wolfgang J, Pellegrino, Teresa, Plank, Christian·2005·Nanotechnology

Abstract

Colloidal quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals well dispersed in a solvent. The optical properties of quantum dots, in particular the wavelength of their fluorescence, depend strongly on their size. Because of their reduced tendency to photobleach, colloidal quantum dots are interesting fluorescence probes for all types of labelling studies. In this review we will give an overview on how quantum dots have been used so far in cell biology. In particular we will discuss the biologically relevant properties of quantum dots and focus on four topics: labelling of cellular structures and receptors with quantum dots, incorporation of quantum dots by living cells, tracking the path and the fate of individual cells using quantum dot labels, and quantum dots as contrast agents.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
