To demonstrate the versatility of Ag NGS nanoprobes, extracellular duplex surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) imaging was also performed to evaluate the co-expression of cancer biomarkers, human epidermal growth factor-2 (HER2) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), in a non-small cell lung cancer cell line (H522). Here, EGFR is linked to cancer.
