Abstract

V originále

The present paper describes the synthesis, characterization, and utilization of multi-functional magnetic conjugates that integrate optical and magnetic properties in a single structure for use in many biomedical applications. Spontaneous interaction with eukaryotic cell membrane (HEK-239 cell culture) was determined using fluorescence microscopy, and fluorescence analyses. Both, differences in excitation, and emission wavelength were observed, caused by glutathione intake by cells, resulting in disintegration of core-shell structure of quantum dots, as well as adhesion of conjugate onto cell surface. When compared with quantum dots fluorescent properties, HEK-239 cells with incorporated nanoconjugate exhibited two excitation maxima (lambda (ex) = 430 and 390 nm). Simultaneously, application of ideal lambda (ex) for quantum dots (lambda (ex) = 430 nm), resulted in two emission maxima (lambda = 740 and 750 nm). This nanoconjugate fulfills the requirements of term theranostics, because it can be further functionalized with biomolecules as DNA, proteins, peptides or antibodies, and thus serves as a tool for therapy in combination with simultaneous treatment.
