A multifunctional nanoparticle that combines the optical properties of luminescent quantum dots (QDs) and therapeutic modality of immunoliposomes (ILs) has been developed. Carboxylate-derivatized QDs cross-linked with amino- poly(ethylene glycol)-functionalized liposomes were modified with anti-human epidermal [...]
