QUANTUM DOT LABELING OF MEMBRANE ASSOCIATED TARGETS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL MOLECULE CONJUGATES TO INTERROGATE THE SEROTONIN TRANSPORTER PROTEIN
The primary aim of this research was to incorporate highly fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals, or quantum dots (QDs), in various biological assays as an improved means of optically imaging membrane associated receptors. Initial imaging efforts utilized antibody conjugated QDs to fluorescently la...
