I am interested in understanding the spatial dynamics of certain proteins with time in live neurons. Instead of creating fusion proteins, I was thinking of using quantum dots based conjugation of antibodies specific to these proteins and then following these proteins by the live cell imaging in these neurons. Actually using quantum dots of various colours (emission wavelengths), I can simultaneously track 2-3 proteins in neurons. This will help me to better understand the interactions of the target protein with other proteins.

I would be grateful if someone can share their experience of using quantum dots for live cell imaging of proteins. It will be a great help.
