Near-Infrared-Responded High Sensitivity Nanoprobe for Steady and Visualized Detection of Albumin in Hepatic Organoids and Mouse Liver.

ABSTRACT: Exploring the advanced techniques for protein detection facilitates cell fate investigation. However, it remains challenging to quantify and visualize the protein with one single probe. Here, a luminescent approach to detect hepatic cell fate marker albumin in vitro and living cell labeling with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), which are conjugated with antibody (Ab) and rose bengal hexanoic acid (RBHA) is reported. To guarantee the detection quality and accuracy, an "OFF-ON" strategy is adopted: in the presence of albumin, the luminescence of nanoparticles remains suppressed owing to energy transfer to the quencher. Upon albumin binding to the antibody, the luminescence is recovered under near-infrared light. In various bio-samples, the UCNPs-Ab-RBHA (UCAR) nanoprobe can sense albumin
