We have developed multifunctional fluorescent surface enhanced Raman spectroscopic tagging material (F-SERS dots) composed of silver nanoparticle-embedded silica spheres with fluorescent organic dye and specific Raman labels for multiplex targeting, tracking, and imaging of cellular/molecular events in the living organism. In this study, F-SERS dots fabricated with specific target antibodies (BAX and BAD) were employed for the detection of apoptosis. The F-SERS dots did not show any particular toxicity in several cell lines. The F-SERS dots could monitor the apoptosis effectively and simultaneously through fluorescent images as well as Raman signals in both cells and tissues with high selectivity. Our results clearly demonstrate that F-SERS dots can be easily applicable to multiplex analysis of diverse cellular/molecular events important for maintaining cellular homeostasis.
