PEG-coated gold nanorod monoclonal antibody conjugates in preclinical research with optoacoustic tomography, photothermal therapy, and sensing

摘要

Gold nanorods (GNR) with a peak absorption wavelength of 760 nm were prepared using a seed-mediated method. A novel protocol has been developed to replace hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the surface of GNR with 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid (M
