Attachment of semiconductor quantum dots to living neurons utilizing antibody and peptide recognition molecules has been achieved. It is shown that peptide recognition molecules provide nanometer-scale control over the targeting and separation distance between the quantum dot and the cell. The Figure shows a fluorescence image of CdS quantum dots attached by antibody binding to human neuroblastoma cells.
