Abstract
Fluorescent-magnetic-biotargeting multifunctional nanobioprobes (FMBMNs) have attracted great attention in recent years due to their increasing, important applications in biomedical research, clinical diagnosis, and biomedicine. We have previously developed such nanobioprobes for the detection and isolation of a single kind of tumor cells. Detection and isolation of multiple tumor markers or tumor cells from complex samples sensitively and with high efficiency is critical for the early diagnosis of tumors, especially malignant tumors or cancers, which will improve clinical diagnosis outcomes and help to select effective treatment approaches. Here, we expanded the application of the monoclonal antibody (mAb)-coupled FMBMNs for multiplexed assays. Multiple types of cancer cells, such as leukemia cells and prostate cancer cells, were detected and collected from mixed samples within 25 min by using a magnet and an ordinary fluorescence microscope. The capture efficiencies of mAb-coupled FMBMNs for the above-mentioned two types of cells were 96% and 97%, respectively. Furthermore, by using the mAb-coupled FMBMNs, specific and sensitive detection and rapid separation of a small number of spiked leukemia cells and prostate cancer cells in a large population of cultured normal cells (about 0.01% were tumor cells) were achieved simply and inexpensively without any sample pretreatment before cell analysis. Therefore, mAb-coupled multicolor FMBMNs may be used for very sensitive detection and rapid isolation of multiple cancer cells in biomedical research and medical diagnostics.Keywords
