How are QDs useful in tumour targeting? Correct Answer QDs are functionalized with tumour specific binding sites
QDs can be used for tumour targeting under in vivo conditions employing two different types of schemes. These are active and passive targeting. In active targeting, QDs are functionalized with tumour specific binding sites to selectively bind to tumour cells. While in passive targeting enhanced permeation and retention of tumour cells are used for the delivery of QD probes.
