  Recently, the quinazolinederivative, 4- N -(3′-bromo-phenyl) amino-6, 7-dimethoxyquinazoline (PD153035), has been reported not only to inhibit the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase but also to bind to DNA double helical structures by intercalation . However, several important pharmacology issues such as whether PD153035 is a specific and reversible inhibitor of the EGFR tyrosine kinase should be addressed in more detail. In this study, we propose a nanotechnology-based approach to monitoring the real-time EGF-EGFR complex trafficking process and its relationship to cytoskeleton, as well as spatio-temporal cellular response to PD153035 at the single-cell level. W e utilize the biofunctionalized quntum dots (QDs) conjugated with EGF to monitor the cellular distribution of QD-EGF-EGFR complexes, which can provide a more .. View More»
