Abstract

(Figure Presented) Specific cell recognition: Magnetic g-Fe 2O3 nanoparticles (MNPs) functionalized with a fluorescently labeled polymer and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly-(I:C)] allow the specific visualizion of the TLR3 receptors on the the surface of Caki-1 cells. The expression of TLR3 on the Caki-1 cells was demonstrated independently by RT-PCR and immunostaining techniques.
