(A) The design of a QD conjugated with a BRET donor Luc8. The energy transferred from Lu8-induced oxidation of coelenterazine results in QD emission. (B) Illumination of C6 glioma cells by QD655-Luc8-R9. (C) Representative images of nude mice injected with labeled cells via tail vein. Adapted from Ref. [92] with permissions.
