Unique catalytic activities have been reported for nanoscale materials in recent years.[1] These size-dependent properties, which are often absent in the bulk materials, are the basis for the design of novel catalysts with multiple applications in energy storage, chemical synthesis, and biomedical applications.[2, 3] Cerium oxide has been extensively used in catalytic converters for automobile exhaust systems, as an ultraviolet absorber, and as an electrolyte for fuel cells.[4–7] Most recently, it has been found that cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) possess antioxidant activity at physiological pH values, and the potential use of these materials in biomedical applications, such as protection against radiation damage, oxidative stress, and inflammation, has been reported.[8–12] The ability of these nanoparticles to act as an antioxidant resides on their ability to reversibly switch from Ce3+ to Ce4+.[11] Furthermore, the synthesis of biocompatible dextran-coated nanoceria (DNC) and its enhanced stability in aqueous solution has been recently reported.[12]Herein, we report that nanoceria has an intrinsic oxidaselike activity at acidic pH values, as it can quickly oxidize a series of organic substrates without any oxidizing agent (eg hydrogen peroxide). The observed activity is not only pH-dependent but is also dependent on the size of the cerium oxide nanoparticles as well as the thickness of the polymer coating. On the basis of these findings, we have designed an immunoassay in which folate-conjugated cerium oxide nanoparticles provide dual functionality by binding to folateexpressing cancer cells and facilitating detection by catalytic oxidation of sensitive colorimetric substrates (dyes). The unique pH-dependent oxidase-like activity of cerium oxide nanoparticles in aqueous media makes them a powerful tool for a wide range of potential applications in biotechnology and environmental chemistry. For our first set of experiments, we investigated if a DNC preparation [12] could facilitate the oxidation of a series of organic dyes at low pHvalues. In these experiments, we selected 3, 3о, 5, 5о-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and 2, 2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothizoline-6-sulfonic acid)(AzBTS), which upon oxidation develop either a blue (TMB) or green (AzBTS) color in aqueous solution.[13, 14] These dyes are typically used as horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrates in various bioassays, and most recently they have been used to demonstrate the peroxidase-like activity of iron oxide nanoparticles.[15] However, in these peroxidase-catalyzed reactions, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is required as the electron acceptor or oxidizing agent. In contrast, we have found that DNC catalyzes the fast oxidation (within minutes) of both
