Abstract
Light-sensitive: Targeted photodynamic therapy is achieved by using gold nanoparticles that are stabilized by a mixed monolayer of a hydrophobic zinc phthalocyanine photosensitizer, which produces cytotoxic singlet oxygen, and a water-soluble thiol-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) carrying the lectin jacalin, which targets the Thomsen–Friedenreich disaccharide antigen at the surface of cancer cells.
