In this work, the mannose was grafted onto the bovine serum albumin (BSA) encapsulated Au NCs (BSA-Au NCs) to produce a mannose functionalized BSA-Au NCs (Man-BSA-Au NCs) as a new fluorescence probe for Concanavalin A (Con A) detection and human breast cancer cell imaging. A new strategy with mannose-BSA conjugates as template was firstly applied for the synthesis of Man-BSA-Au NCs, leading to a high loading of mannose (767.6 ± 7.2 mg/L) onto BSA-Au NCs. -prepared Man-BSA-Au NCs showed advantages of facile preparation, good monodispersity and strong red-emission. Notably, aggregation-induced fluorescence quenching of Man-BSA-Au NCs was triggered by Con A due to the multivalent cooperative interactions between mannose and Con A, which was subsequently confirmed by MALDI-TOF MS. Hence highly selective and sensitive fluorescence detection of Con A was achieved by using Man-BSA-Au NCs as a fluorescence sensor. A good linear relationship was obtained over the range of 0.01-1 μM (R2 = 0.994) with a detection limit of 0.62 nM (S/N = 3). The developed sensor was then applied to determine Con A in human serum with acceptable recoveries of 93.70-104.8%. Moreover, based on the specific recognition between mannose and overexpressed mannose receptors on human breast cancer cells, the Man-BSA-Au NCs were successfully utilized for cancer cell imaging with good specificity.A new procedure is proposed for the determination of metal contaminants (Cr, Fe, Mg, Mn, Na and Ni) in polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (PMDI), a raw material used to produce polyurethane polymers.
