A novel platform for detection of protooncogene based on Au nanocluster enhanced fluorescence†
Abstract
For the first time, gold nanoclusters were found to exhibit high fluorescence enhancement ability based on the metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF) effect, which can effectively enhance the fluorescence of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC). By means of this phenomenon, Au nanoclusters have been successfully used in the construction of a fluorescence-enhanced sensing platform for the detection of protooncogene.
