Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2006•ACS PublicationsWe have developed a size series of unusually small, water-soluble (InAs) ZnSe (core) shell
quantum dots (QDs) that emit in the near-infrared and exhibit new behavior in vivo, including
multiple sequential lymph node mapping and extravasation from the vasculature. The
biological utility of these fluorescent probes resulted from our intentional choice to match the
semiconductor material and water-soluble ligand with a desired final hydrodynamic
diameter and emission wavelength.
