Quantum dots versus organic dyes as fluorescent labels 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Suitable labels are at the core of Luminescence and fluorescence imaging and sensing. One of the most exciting, yet also controversial, advances in label technology is the emerging development of quantum dots (QDs)--inorganic nanocrystals with unique optical and chemical properties but complicated surface chemistry--as in vitro and in vivo fluorophores. Here we compare and evaluate the differences in physicochemical properties of common fluorescent labels, focusing on traditional organic dyes and QDs. Our aim is to provide a better understanding of the advantages and limitations of both classes of chromophores, to facilitate label choice and to address future challenges in the rational design and manipulation of QD labels. 相似文献

Quantum dots (QDs) have long promised to revolutionize fluorescence detection to include even applications requiring simultaneous multi-species detection at single molecule sensitivity. Despite the early promise, the unique optical properties of QDs have not yet been fully exploited in e. g. multiplex single molecule sensitivity applications such as single particle tracking (SPT). In order to fully optimize single molecule multiplex application with QDs, we have in this work performed a comprehensive quantitative investigation of the fluorescence intensities, fluorescence intensity fluctuations, and hydrodynamic radii of eight types of commercially available water soluble QDs. In this study, we show that the fluorescence intensity of CdSe core QDs increases as the emission of the QDs shifts towards the red but that hybrid CdSe/CdTe core QDs are less bright than the furthest red-shifted CdSe QDs. We further show that there is only a small size advantage in using blue-shifted QDs in biological applications because of the additional size of the water-stabilizing surface coat. Extending previous work, we finally also show that parallel four color multicolor (MC)-SPT with QDs is possible at an image acquisition rate of at least 25 Hz. We demonstrate the technique by measuring the lateral dynamics of a lipid, biotin-cap-DPPE, in the cellular plasma membrane of live cells using four different colors of QDs; QD565, QD605, QD655, and QD705 as labels. 相似文献

l ‐glutathione capped highly fluorescent CdTe quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by an aqueous approach and used as fluorescent labels to link albumin bovine serum (BSA) and rat anti‐mouse CD4, which was expressed on mouse T‐lymphocyte and mouse spleen tissue. The sharp and narrow emission peaks showed that the as‐prepared QDs have desirable dispersibility, uniformity and good fluorescence properties. Both CdTe–BSA and CdTe–CD4 conjugates showed an enhancement of fluorescence intensity over that of bare CdTe QDs. The experimental result of gel electrophoresis confirmed the successful conjugation of CdTe–BSA and CdTe–CD4. The fluorescent microscopic images of CdTe–CD4 labeled mouse T‐lymphocyte cells and mouse spleen tissue were compared with that obtained from fluorescein isothiocyanate labeling. It was demonstrated that the CdTe QDs‐based probe exhibited much better photostability and fluorescence intensity than fluorescein isothiocyanate, showing a good application potential in the immuno‐labeling of cells and tissues.

Semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) are becoming widely used as fluorescent labels for biological applications. Here we demonstrate that fluorescence fluctuation analysis of their diffusional mobility using temporal image correlation spectroscopy is highly susceptible to systematic errors caused by fluorescence blinking of the nanoparticles. Temporal correlation analysis of fluorescence microscopy image time series of streptavidin-functionalized (CdSe)ZnS QDs freely diffusing in two dimensions shows that the correlation functions are fit well to a commonly used diffusion decay model, but the transport coefficients can have significant systematic errors in the measurements due to blinking. Image correlation measurements of the diffusing QD samples measured at different laser excitation powers and analysis of computer simulated image time series verified that the effect we observe is caused by fluorescence intermittency. We show that reciprocal space image correlation analysis can be used for mobility measurements in the presence of blinking emission because it separates the contributions of fluctuations due to photophysics from those due to transport. We also demonstrate application of the image correlation methods for measurement of the diffusion coefficient of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins tagged with QDs as imaged on living fibroblasts. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Significant developments in biological applications are occurring through the incorporation of Quantum Dots (QDs) as biological labels. The demonstration of QDs unique optical properties may have important implications for the study of environmental samples, where microorganisms of interest need to be isolated away from the background debris. METHODS: Flow cytometric analysis was used to determine the fluorescence intensity of oocysts after mAb staining by QDs or organic fluorophore conjugates. In addition, the level of non-specific binding to detrital particles within a control water concentrate was estimated using the optimal staining concentration determined for each mAb analyzed. RESULTS: Under 488 nm excitation, oocysts stained with QD-conjugates exhibited significantly lower fluorescence intensity than organic conjugates. Moreover, the level of non-specific binding by QD-conjugates to detrital particles present in the water concentrate was significantly higher that of the organic conjugates. CONCLUSIONS: While QDs are noted for their superior spectral characteristics, they have been shown here to be unsuitable for conventional flow cytometric detection of Cryptosporidium. Therefore, we conclude that in their current form, QD's are severely limited for fluorescent detection of pathogens in environmental applications. 相似文献

In this study, we demonstrated the simultaneous detection of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis, by coupling immunomagnetic separation (IMS) with quantum dots (QDs) labeling. QDs having different emission wavelengths were conjugated with anti- E. coli and anti- Salmonella antibodies. QD–antibody conjugates were used to label immunomagnetically separated bacteria and the fluorescence intensities were measured for enumerations of both species. The concentrations of primary antibodies used in IMS, the ratio of QDs to antibodies during the conjugation and the concentration of QD–antibody conjugates used in labeling were optimized to enhance the sensitivity of the assay. After labeling bacteria with QDs, the quenching observed between bead–bacteria complex and QDs was eliminated by separating QDs from the complex using sodium dodecyl sulfate solution. The fluorescence intensities due to the capturing of different concentrations of bacteria were measured and the working ranges were found to be 5 × 102 to 5 × 105 cfu/mL for E. coli and 4 × 102 to 4 × 105 cfu/mL for S. enteritidis .
In this study, antibody-conjugated multicolor quantum dots (QDs) were used for simultaneous detection of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enteritidis . The results of this study indicate that QD labels can be used in multiplex, rapid and selective detection of bacteria with detection limits comparable with those of many novel methods in cases where the assay conditions are optimized. Furthermore, the assay can be modified for the simultaneous detection of more than two species through using QD labels having different emission wavelengths. 相似文献

Biologically conjugated quantum dots (QDs) have shown great promise as multiwavelength fluorescent labels for on-chip bioassays and eukaryotic cells. However, use of these photoluminescent nanocrystals in bacteria has not previously been reported, and their large size (3 to 10 nm) makes it unclear whether they inhibit bacterial recognition of attached molecules and whether they are able to pass through bacterial cell walls. Here we describe the use of conjugated CdSe QDs for strain- and metabolism-specific microbial labeling in a wide variety of bacteria and fungi, and our analysis was geared toward using receptors for a conjugated biomolecule that are present and active on the organism's surface. While cell surface molecules, such as glycoproteins, make excellent targets for conjugated QDs, internal labeling is inconsistent and leads to large spectral shifts compared with the original fluorescence, suggesting that there is breakup or dissolution of the QDs. Transmission electron microscopy of whole mounts and thin sections confirmed that bacteria are able to extract Cd and Se from QDs in a fashion dependent upon the QD surface conjugate. 相似文献

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are proved to be unique fluorescent labels providing excellent possibilities for high-throughput detection and diagnostics. To explore in full QDs’ advantages in brightness, photostability, large Stokes shift, and tunability by size fluorescence emission, they should be rendered stable in biological fluids and tagged with the target-specific capture molecules. Ideal QD-based nanoprobes should not exceed 15 nm in diameter and should contain on their surface multiple copies of homogeneously oriented highly active affinity molecules, for example, antibodies (Abs). Direct conjugation of QDs with the Abs through cross-linking of QDs’ amines with the sulfhydryl groups issued from the reduced Abs’ disulfide bonds is the common technique. However, this procedure often generates conjugates in which the number of functionally active Abs on the surface of QDs does not always conform to expectations and is often low. Here we have developed an advanced procedure with the optimized critical steps of Ab reduction, affinity purification, and QD–Ab conjugation. We succeeded in reducing the Abs in such a way that the reduction reaction yields highly functional, partially cleaved, 75-kDa heavy–light Ab fragments. Affinity purification of these Ab fragments followed by their tagging with the QDs generates QD–Ab conjugates with largely improved functionality compared with those produced according to the standard procedures. The developed approach can be extended to conjugation of any type of Ab with different semiconductor, noble metal, or magnetic nanocrystals. 相似文献
