Cadmium-telluride quantum dots (QDs) were conjugated to an antibody (Ab) against Citrus tristeza virus (CTV), while the coat protein (CP) of the CTV was immobilized on the surface of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs). Following immunobinding of the QD-Ab and the CP-loaded CNPs, the fluorescence of the CdT...
