Abstract

In this review, we focus on sensing techniques and biological applications of various luminescent nanoparticles including quantum dot (QD), up-conversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) following the previous chapter. Fluorescent phenomena can be regulated or shifted by interaction between biological targets and luminescence probes depending on their distance, which is so-called Fӧrster resonance energy transfer (FRET). QD-based FRET technique, which has been widely applied as a bioanalytical tool, is described. We discuss time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) imaging and flow cytometry technique, using photoluminescent nanoparticles with unique properties for effectively improving selectivity and sensitivity. Based on these techniques, bioanalytical and biomedical application, bioimaging with QD, UCNPs, and Euripium-activated luminescent nanoprobes are covered. Combination of optical property of these luminescent nanoparticles with special functions such as drug delivery, photothermal therapy (PTT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT) is also described.
