Abstract
Provided is a nanoprobe based on a self-replicating biological material. The nanoprobe includes a binding agent existing in a first region of the biological material and capable of binding specifically to a target analyte, and nanoparticles existing in a second region of the biological material and providing an optical detection signal. The use of the nanoprobe enables quantitative analysis and multiplexed analysis of a target. In addition, the nanoprobe is easy to fabricate on a large scale.
