Folic acid modified gelatine coated quantum dots as potential reagents for in vitro cancer diagnostics

BACKGROUND: Gelatine coating was previously shown to effectively reduce the cytotoxicity of CdTe Quantum Dots (QDs) which was a first step towards utilising them for biomedical applications. To be useful they also need to be target-specific which can be achieved by conjugating them with Folic Acid (...
