Synthesis of cRGD-peptide conjugated near-infrared CdTe/ZnSe core-shell quantum dots for in vivo cancer targeting and imaging.
Cyclic RGD-peptide functionalized phospholipids micelle-encapsulated near-infrared CdTe/ZnSe quantum dots were synthesized as multifunctional probes for targeting and imaging tumors in live animals.
