Description

Transferrin - 90nm gold conjugate refers to a complex formed by combining transferrin with 90 nm gold nanoparticles through a specific chemical reaction. Transferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein present in the plasma of vertebrates. It has the ability to bind iron ions with high specificity and is a key component of iron transport and metabolism throughout the organism. By combining transferrin with gold nanoparticles, transferrin gold conjugates can be endowed with specific recognition ability, good biocompatibility and stability.

Applications

• Drug delivery. Transferrin - 90nm gold conjugate can be used as a carrier to deliver drugs or therapeutic agents to specific cells in the body. The transferrin receptor is overexpressed on the surface of cancer cells, making it a target for drug delivery in cancer therapy.
• Imaging. Transferrin - 90nm gold conjugate can also be used as a contrast agent for imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging. The gold nanoparticles attached to transferrin can enhance imaging resolution and sensitivity.
• Cellular uptake studies. Transferrin - 90nm gold conjugate is easily taken up by cells via endocytosis, making it suitable for cellular uptake studies and can be detected using dark-field microscopy and electron microscopy.

Storage

• Store undiluted in storage buffer at 2-8 °C. Stable for 4 months if stored as specified.
• It is important to note that storing conjugate at working dilution may result in performance loss.
