Cytotoxicity of Polyelectrolyte Microcapsules Encoded with Semiconductor Nanocrystals

KnE Energy / The 2nd International Symposium "Physics, Engineering and Technologies for Biomedicine" / Pages 299–304

Abstract

Polyelectrolyte microcapsules are promising carriers of drugs and diagnostic agents for designing targeted and controlled delivery systems design. The use of quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescent labels in bioimaging is a promising approach to bioimaging tool development. The potential toxicity of QDs makes their applicability as fluorescent labels in vivo questionable. Therefore, the cytotoxicity of polyelectrolyte microcapsules encoded with semiconductor nanocrystals has been investigated.


Keywords: Polyelectrolyte microcapsules, semiconductor nanocrystals, cytotoxicity, theranostic agents.
