Abstract
Upconversion materials have attracted much interest for biomedical applications. However, a wide-spread use requires a much improved upconversion efficiency for which plasmonic nanostructures offer a highly promising route. This paper presents the latest development in plasmonic nanostructures coupled with upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). First, a demonstration of over 1000x enhancement using a metal-insulator-metal architecture will be presented. Additionally, UCNP-gold nanostructure was conjugated with antibody to epidermal growth factor to target bladder cancer cells. We have demonstrated highly selective cell killing by optoporation-aided chemotherapy.
