Thank you all. I think I miss contacts on quantum rods, but perhaps some of the people mentioned may help out on that.

Re: Looking for experts in quantum dots and quantum rods

Hi George,

I’ve seen presentations about nanorods and nanoparticles of recognisably different shapes and sizes, but has anyone used these in confocal (and/or TEM/SEM imaging) – linked to antibodies, for example? So far, the published work seems to be about the technical aspects of the particles rather than their applications. (I have not done a recent literature search, so may be out of date.)

cheers,

Rosemary

Re: Looking for experts in quantum dots and quantum rods

Hi Rosemary,

The Feld 2015 paper I cited had one lame confocal micrograph of splotches in vitro.

I liked this Watanabe 2013 paper, because it used quantum rods (biocoated with GSH) to do 4D single molecule(particle) tracking with angular orientation -- the latter by simultaneous fluorescence anisotropy.

http://www.cell.com/biophysj/pdfExtended/S0006-3495(13)00779-0 (open access)

Watanabe TM1, Fujii F, Jin T, Umemoto E, Miyasaka M, Fujita H, Yanagida T.

Four-dimensional spatial nanometry of single particles in living cells using polarized quantum rods.

Biophys J. 2013 Aug 6;105(3):555-64. doi: 10.1016/j.bpj.2013.07.001.
Abstract
Single particle tracking is widely used to study protein movement with high spatiotemporal resolution both in vitro and in cells. Quantum dots, which are semiconductor nanoparticles, have recently been employed in single particle tracking because of their intense and stable fluorescence. Although single particles inside cells have been tracked in three spatial dimensions (X, Y, Z), measurement of the angular orientation of a molecule being tracked would significantly enhance our understanding of the molecule's function. In this study, we synthesized highly polarized, rod-shaped quantum dots (Qrods) and developed a coating method that optimizes the Qrods for biological imaging. We describe a Qrod-based single particle tracking technique that blends optical nanometry with nanomaterial science to simultaneously measure the three-dimensional and angular movements of molecules. Using Qrods, we spatially tracked a membrane receptor in living cells in four dimensions with precision close to the single-digit range in nanometers and degrees.
