摘要: We present the application of a theranostic system combining Raman imaging and photodynamic therapy (PDT) effect. The nanoplatform was created by loading photosensitizer, protoporphyrin IX, onto Raman-labeled gold nanostar. A cell-penetrating peptide, TAT, enhanced intracellular accumulation nanoparticles in order to improve their delivery efficacy. plasmonic nanostar platform designed increase signal via surface-enhanced resonance scattering (SERRS) Theranostic SERS using this construct were demonstrated on BT-549 breast cancer cells. TAT peptide allowed for effective photosensitization with nanoparticle after 1 h incubation period. In absence cells not sufficient be observed or produce any effect short There no cytotoxic ef...
