Abstract
Selective targeting and detection of a hematologic malignancy, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) gold nanoparticles is reported. The functional nanoparticles were composed of a gold core onto which an optical reporter dye was adsorbed, protected from aggregation by grafted polyethyleneglycol, and targeted to CD19 antigen by antibodies. The signals were detected by dark-field microscopy and Raman spectrometry. The observation that the Raman signals are not disrupted by several traditional pathology stains indicates advantages over fluorescence methods.
