In Situ Imaging of Cancer Cell via Cancer Aptamer and its Fluorescent Clusters

Article Preview

Abstract:

Silver nanoclusters synthesized using aptamer as matrices attracted more attention in the fields of medicine, pharmacology and biology. In this paper, we report a novel approach to sgc-8-C8-templated formation of fluorescent Ag nanoclusters and its application to bioimaging. This was further confirmed by flow cytometry. The cell toxicity (3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2]-2, 5 -diphenyltetrazolium bromide, MTT) assay demonstrated that the silver nanoclusters has only little affect on the cytotoxicity to the cells. These results demonstrated that this aptamer-based method for labeling and imaging cellular protein is facile, effective.
