In this study, we report on the fabrication of multilayered tri-functional magnetic-SERS-fluorescence nanoprobes (MF-SERS particles) containing clustered superparamagnetic FeO nanoparticles (NPs), silver NPs, and a fluorescent silica layer. The MF-SERS particles exhibited strong SERS signals from the silver NPs as well as both superparamagnetism and fluorescence. MF-SERS particles were uptaken by cells, allowing successful separation using an external magnetic field. SERS and fluorescence signals could be detected from the NP-containing cells, and CD44 antibody-conjugated MF-SERS particles selectively targeted MDA-MB-231 cells. Based on these properties, MF-SERS particles proved to be a useful nanoprobe for multiplex detection and separation of cancer cells.
在这项研究中,我们报告了多层三功能磁性表面增强拉曼散射-荧光纳米探针(MF-SERS 粒子)的制备,该探针包含聚集的超顺磁 FeO 纳米粒子(NPs)、银 NPs 和荧光二氧化硅层。MF-SERS 粒子表现出银 NPs 的强表面增强拉曼散射信号以及超顺磁性和荧光性。MF-SERS 粒子被细胞摄取,使用外部磁场可以成功分离。可以从含有 NP 的细胞中检测到 SERS 和荧光信号,并且 CD44 抗体偶联的 MF-SERS 粒子选择性地靶向 MDA-MB-231 细胞。基于这些特性,MF-SERS 粒子被证明是一种用于癌症细胞的多重检测和分离的有用纳米探针。
