Abstract:
CdTe@SiO(2) fluorescent particles were synthesized via hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion. Uniform luminophore-doped silica nanoparticles with 100nm in diameter were obtained using microemulsion method and characterized by SEM. Antibody proteins were successfully conjugated to the fluorescent particles by the reaction of avidin and biotin, which were confirmed by fluorescence spectra. CdTe@SiO(2) fluorescent particles were potentially useful for the applications in biolabeling and imaging.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
