| Abstract | Direct measurement of neurotransmitter in a single cell still remains a major challenge. Existing probes have several problems for accurate observation of intracellular component. In recent years, quantum dots (Qdot), with their unique physical, chemical, and optical properties, have been used extensively as probes to visualize several cell membrane receptors and extracellular biomolecules. However, high affinity between quantum dots may induce serious aggregation in the cytoplasm; as a result, quantum dot aggregates are usually misinterpreted as quantum dot-probed intracellular molecules. Moreover, higher viscosity of cytoplasm compared to the extracellular aqueous media may lead to a higher number of aggregated quantum dots. To eliminate these obstacles, we developed a direct nondestructive serotonin imaging in an intact cell using the quantum dot-based immunoassay with a rapid tunable multicolor imaging system based on the acousto-optic tunable filter. It provides rapid image scanning of serotonin granules as a function of wavelength under conditions in which the serotonin granules are bound with different colored quantum dots anti-serotonin antibody conjugates. This multicolor imaging technique clearly does away with aggregation issues that emerge from the use of quantum dots as probes for intracellular molecules. The results of this work demonstrate that multicolor imaging combined with fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals has the potential to serve as a viable technique for nondestructive intracellular serotonin measurements in intact cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
