CdTe Quantum dots Modified by Polyamidoamine Dendrimers for Cell Imaging

Water soluble CdTe quantum dots have shown potential as a platform for development of live cell imaging, but their cytotoxicity limits their biological applications. To decrease their cytotoxicity, an approach to modify CdTe quantum dots (QDs) with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) was employed by forming cova...
