Dual-channel fluorescent imaging of reactive oxygen species in living cells based on Ce(III) modified quantum dots with oxidation triggered phosphatase-like activity

Weilin Mao et al.

Summary: The two-wavelength fluorescent sensing and imaging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was demonstrated using Ce(III) ions modified fluorescent quantum dots (QDs). Ce(IV)/QDs can catalyze the hydrolysis of 4-MUP to generate blue emission, while ROS has only slight effect on the red fluorescent signal of QDs. The successful ratiometric fluorescent detection of ROS and dual-channel fluorescent ROS imaging in cells were achieved.
