Problems solved by technology

It is easy to cause the fluorescence of quantum dots to weaken
The patent number is 201310117034.4, and the patent title is "a gold nanostar@quantum dot composite cell probe with dual functions of photothermal and fluorescence enhancement and its preparation method and application". Although the disclosed composite probe has photothermal conversion However, due to the following three aspects, some improvements are needed to make it more suitable for photothermal-fluorescent composite labeling in vivo: (1) Due to the small number of gold nanostar spikes , The length of each spike is not easy to control the consistency, resulting in a large width of its absorption spectrum, which overlaps with the absorption spectrum of near-infrared quantum dots, so that some photothermal effects will also be generated when quantum dots are excited to emit light (that is, fluorescent tracers). It has a certain impact on the brightness of near-infrared luminescence (but it has an enhancement effect on light with a wavelength shorter than orange, so it is suitable for marking superficial tumors); (2) The photothermal threshold of gold nanostars is 1.8W / cm 2 There is still room for further reduction; (3) Due to the longer spikes of gold nanostars, the 2 1. When preparing composite probes, it is not easy to control the diameter of composite probes to be less than 100nm, so it has a certain degree of negative impact on the labeling of living cells

Abstract

The present invention provides a gold nanoflower structure and a preparation method thereof. The gold nanoflower structure uses gold octahedrons, gold spheres or gold tetrahedrons as seed crystals in an environment of high concentration polyvinylpyrrolidone , reducing chloroauric acid with a weak reducing agent to obtain gold nanoflower particles uniformly distributed with round-headed columns. In addition, the present invention also provides a gold nanoflower / quantum dot composite probe for immunofluorescent labeling of living cells and photothermal therapy, as well as its preparation method and application. Compared with traditional probes, this probe is a probe that integrates photothermal therapy and fluorescent labeling, which can effectively kill cancer cells in a targeted manner. Two light sources are used to achieve huge photothermal conversion efficiency and the fluorescence of quantum dots respectively. The greater enhancement of the intensity skillfully avoids the mutual interference of the two effects. The coating of silicon dioxide effectively avoids the biotoxicity of gold nanoflowers and quantum dots, and makes the surface of the composite probe easy to be functionalized with very good biocompatibility.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of composite nanoprobes, in particular to a gold nanoflower / quantum dot composite probe for immunofluorescence labeling and photothermal treatment of living cells. Background technique [0002] Quantum dots are nanomaterials artificially synthesized by a small number of atoms, also known as "artificial atoms". After being excited, they can emit fluorescence, change the structure of quantum dots, and adjust their excitation and emission wavelengths at will. It is used to label and locate the target cells after the specific antibody is activated, and maintain its physicochemical and luminescence stability in the cells for a long time. Replacing traditional dyes with quantum dots as fluorescent markers can overcome the disadvantages of large dye molecules (thus needing to make holes in cells and cannot be used for in vivo labeling), poor photochemical stability and spectral characteristics, and can be used for ...
