Detection of C-reactive protein using highly dispersible gold nanoparticles bearing phospholipid block copolymers

摘要

Autoreduction of aurum ions with the reducible MPC block copolymers results in the generation of various, highly dispersible AuNPs, which can be used for biomedical applications. As proof of this concept, the label-free detection of CRP as an inflammation biomarker was successfully demonstrated by using the biomimetic block copolymer-protected AuNPs.
