We developed dual pH-sensitive, fluorescent dye-loaded polypeptide nanoparticles (DPNs) for ratiometric sensing of pH changes. DPNs have good pH responses for solution and cells. Single acid activatable fluorescent dye doped nanoparticles can distinguish tumor tissue from normal tissue by monitoring the acidic extracellular environment.
