title: Rapid fluorescent detection of neurogenin3 by CdTe quantum dot aggregation.
abstract: Here we report a facile immunoassay for detecting a synthetic peptide fragment of neurogenin3 (amino acid sequence: SKQRRSRRKKANDRERNRMH) by harnessing the aggregation-dependent fluorescence property of antibody-conjugated CdTe quantum dots in the presence of the target.
