An examination of the selective targeting of quantum dots via the folate receptor

Semiconductor nanocrystals known as quantum dots (QDs) are emerging as an important new class of fluorescent probes in cell biology due to their many advantageous optical properties. Various methods have devised that allow for the selective targeting of QDs to biological cells. Conjugation of QDs to...
