Figure 6. Construction of folic acid- and peptide-functionalized ZnxHg1-xSe QDs for cell imaging.

Figure 6

(a) Schematic illustration of folic acid-QDs and peptide-QDs prepared in one-step synthesis. (b) Bright field and fluorescence images of cells incubated with ZnxHg1-xSe QDs. From left to right: live HeLa cells with folic acid-QDs; live MDA-MB-435S cells with MPA-QDs; live MDA-MB-435S cells with peptide-QDs. The peptide sequence is HHHHHHCGKRK. The images were acquired with a 10× objective.
