Acute toxicity and prothrombotic effects of quantum dots: impact of surface charge

Background Quantum dots (QDs) have numerous possible applications for in vivo imaging. However, toxicity data are scarce. Objectives To determine the acute in vivo toxicity of QDs with carboxyl surface coating (carboxyl-QDs) and QDs with amine surface coating (amine-QDs), we investigated the inflam...
