Abstract
A FRET-bearing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) conjugate fluoresces at 520 nm when it is cleaved off nanoparticles (NPs; see picture). When the NPs were targeted on cancer cell lines, the reducing endosomal environment caused the cleavage of the disulfide bond and the shedding of the PEG layer. © 2010 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
