Identifying effective reversal agents overcoming multidrug resistance with causal mechanisms from an efflux pump protein is of vital importance for enhanced tumor chemotherapy in clinic. To achieve this end, we construct a metal cluster-based probe, named clusterbody, to develop flow sorting-assisted single-cell mass spectrometry analysis. This clusterbody synthesized by biomimetic mineralization possesses an antibody-like property to selectively recognize an efflux pump protein. The intrinsic red fluorescence emission of the clusterbody facilitates fluorescence-activated high-throughput cell sorting of subpopulations with different multidrug resistance levels. Furthermore, based on the accurate formula of the clusterbody, the corresponding protein abundance at the single-cell level is determined through detecting gold content via precise signal amplification by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Therefore, the effect of reversal agent treatment overcoming multidrug resistance is evaluated in a quantitative manner. This work opens a new avenue to identify reversal agents, shedding light on developing combined or synergetic tumor therapy.
