Fluorescent probes, such as, organic dye and quantum dots suffer from some limitations, like photo bleaching and toxicity. Recently, fluorescent nanodiamond (FND) has emerged as a promising tool for fluorescence analysis owing to its non-photobleaching and high biocompatibility characteristics. Here we show that albumin-conjugated FNDs disperse well in high ionic strength bio-medium without agglomeration and can keep good stability for at least 9 days just using simple non-covalent conjugation methods. Also, we demonstrate that this albumin-conjugated FNDs coupled with biotins, through covalent cross-linkage with the albumin amine groups, can bind selectively with streptavidin and subsequently with biotinylated CD44 antibodies or biotinylated Cholera toxin subunit B. With this technique, we achieve high-specificity targeting of membrane proteins or glycolipid, and obtain high-quality fluorescence images of fixed and live cells.螢光奈米鑽石白蛋白抗體fluorescencet nanodiamondAlbumin proteinantibody
