摘要
Gold nanoparticles grown within the intracellular confines of living cells are introduced as potential surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates for confocal Raman spectrometry. Electron microscopy and a silver-enhanced reflectance laser scanning confocal microscopic approach were used to visualize the size, shape, and distribution of intracellularly grown gold nanoparticles (IGAuN) as small as 1 nm. Passive uptake as the conventional approach for delivering nanoparticles inside cells faces the insurmountable challenge of escaping the endosomal/lysosomal pathway. In contrast, IGAuN provides an unprecedented advantage of providing access to cytoplasm and nucleus. (C) 2007 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
