Detecting Proteins in Highly Autofluorescent Cells Using Quantum Dot Antibody Conjugates

Detecting Proteins in Highly Autofluorescent Cells Using Quantum Dot Antibody Conjugates

We have applied quantum dot (Qdot) antibody conjugates as a biomolecular probe for cellular proteins important in biogeochemical cycling in the sea. Conventional immunological methods have been hampered by the strong autofluorescence found in cyanobacteria cells. Qdot conjugates provide an ideal alt...
