Abstract

In this research, by simultaneously regulating the two major factors affecting the plasmonic enhanced fluorescence (PEF), spectral overlap and the distance between the fluororophores and the noble metal nanoparticles, a significantly enhanced fluorescent signal is achieved. Core-shell nanostructures composed of aspect ratio (AR) adjustable gold nanorods (GNRs) and various thickness of SiO2 are prepared and the decorated fluorophores are realized optimized PEF. A typical stimuli-responsive conjugated polymer, polydiacetylene (PDA), and a near-infrared (NIR) dye Cy5.5 are selected as fluorophores and their fluorescent signal are enhanced 7.26 and 4.41 times, respectively. Based on the optimized optical properties, a multifunctional antibody modified Mab-Cy5.5-GNRs@SiO2 is successfully demonstrated the targeting, imaging, and photothermal therapy (PTT) effects on SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells.
