In Vivo Study of the Effects of Peptide-Conjugated Near-Infrared Fluorescent Quantum Dots on the Tumorigenic and Lymphatic Metastatic Capacities of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cell Line Tca8113 and U14
Quantum dots (QDs) have great potential in non-invasive monitoring and imaging of tumor cells in vivo, but it is unknown if QDs affect their tumorigenesis and metastasis. Here, we applied peptide-conjugated near-infrared fluorescent QDs (NIRF-QDs) to label the squamous cell carcinoma cells Tca8113 a...
