The present invention provides are a gold nanoflower structure and a preparation method therefor. The gold nanoflower structure is a gold nanoflower particle, with round-head columns being uniformly distributed at the periphery thereof, obtained by using gold octahedrons, gold balls or gold tetrahedrons as seed crystals and reducing chloroauric acid by using weak reductant in an environment of high-concentration polyvinylpyrrolidone. In addition, also provided in the present invention are a gold nanoflower/quantum dot composite probe for living cell immunofluorescent labeling and photothermal therapy, a preparation method therefor and a use thereof. In comparison with traditional probes, the probe, incorporates the features of photothermal therapy and fluorescent labeling, and is capable of killing cancer cells in an effective and directional way. Two light sources are adopted to bring a tremendous photothermal conversion efficiency and a greater enhancement on fluorescence intensity of quantum dots respectively, thus mutual interference of two effects are avoided tactfully. The coating of silicon dioxide averts the biotoxicity of the gold nanoflower and the quantum dot effectually, enabling the surface of the composite probe to be easily functionalized and also imparting an extraordinarily excellent biocompatibility to the composite probe. |
