Abstract

MnO nanoparticles were conjugated to single stranded DNA (ssDNA), Cytosinphosphatidyl-Guanosin oligonucleotide (CpG ODN) to detect and activate Toll-like (TLR9) receptors in cells and to follow nanoparticle cellular trafficking by different means of imaging while at the same time serving as a drug carrier system. By virtue of their magnetic properties these nanoparticles may serve as vehicles for the transport of target molecules into cells, while the fluorescent target ligand allows optical detection simultaneously.
