Development of a mycolic acid-graphene quantum dot probe as a potential tuberculosis biosensor

Kabwe, Kapambwe Peter; Nsibande, Sifiso Albert; Pilcher, Lynne A.; Forbes, Patricia B.C. (Wiley, 2022-11)

The development of amine-functionalized graphene quantum dots (GQDs) linked to mycolic acids (MAs) as a potential fluorescent biosensor to detect tuberculosis (TB) biomarkers is described. GQDs have attractive properties: ...
Synthesis and characterisation of quantum dots coupled to mycolic acids as a water-soluble fluorescent probe for potential lateral flow detection of antibodies and diagnosis of tuberculosis

Kabwe, Kapambwe Peter; Nsibande, Sifiso Albert; Lemmer, Yolandy; Pilcher, Lynne A.; Forbes, Patricia B.C. (Wiley, 2022-02)

This work explores the potential use of cadmium-based quantum dots (QDs) coupled to mycolic acids (MAs) as a fluorescent probe to detect anti-MA antibodies which are biomarkers for tuberculosis (TB). The use of free MAs ...
