Next-generation theranostic agents based on polyelectrolyte microcapsules encoded with semiconductor nanocrystals: development and functional characterization

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Galina Nifontova from the CdSe/ZnS core/shell QDs with a fluorescence maximum λmax equal to , nm were kindly provided by DrPavel Samokhvalov (Laboratory of Nano-Bioengineering, National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute), Moscow, Russia). Freshly synthesized QDs were coated with trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) and were water-insoluble. Their transfer to the water phase was performed by substituting D, cysteine for TOPO and subsequently replacing of D, cysteine with, unit PEG derivative containing thiol and carboxyl end groups HS-(PEG)12-COOH (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) as described earlier [22, , ]. For this purpose . . .
