Environmentally compatible bioconjugated gold nanoparticles as efficient contrast agents for colorectal cancer cell imaging

In this study we show, for the first time, that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized by a simple, inexpensive, and environmentally-correct method can be easily conjugated with the antibodies anti-β-catenin and anti-E-cadherin to specifically target colorectal carcinoma cells. The antibody/AuNPs co...
