Here we report a simple all-nucleic-acid enzyme-free catalyzed hairpin assembly assisted amplification strategy with quantum dots (QDs) as the nanoscale signal reporter for homogeneous visual and fluorescent detection of A549 lung cancer cells from clinical blood samples. This work was based on the phenomenon that CdTe QDs can selectively recognize Ag+ and C-Ag+-C and by using mucin 1 as the circulating tumor cells (CTCs) marker and aptamer as the recognition probe. Under optimized conditions, the limits of detections as low as 0.15 f
