Nile red: a selective fluorescent stain for intracellular lipid droplets
We report that the dye nile red, 9-diethylamino-5H-benzo[alpha]phenoxazine-5-one, is an excellent vital stain for the detection of intracellular lipid droplets by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytofluorometry. The specificity of the dye for lipid droplets was assessed on cultured aortic smooth muscle cells and on cultured peritoneal macrophages that were incubated with acetylated low density...
متن کاملDansyl-galactoside, a fluorescent probe of active transport in bacterial membrane vesicles.
A fluorescent galactoside, 2-(N-dansyl)-aminoethyl beta-D-thiogalactoside (dansyl-galactoside), competitively inhibits lactose transport by membrane vesicles of Escherichia coli, but is not actively transported. An increase in dansyl-galactoside fluorescence is observed upon addition of D-lactate. The fluorescence increase is not observed in membrane vesicles lacking the beta-galactoside transp...
متن کاملLabeling of animal cells with fluorescent dansyl cerebroside.
A dansyl (diaminoaphthalenesulfonyl)-derivative of cerebroside was prepared which could be effectively incorporated into the plasma membranes of tissue culture cells and erythrocytes. The cells which had assimilated the glycolipid fluoreced intensely and could be observed under a fluorescent microscope. Cells were initially labeled rather homogeneously over the whole surface. With longer incuba...
متن کاملSynthesis of a novel fluorescent sensor bearing dansyl fluorophores for the highly selective detection of mercury (II) ions.
A new macromolecule possessing two dansyl moieties and based on 2-[4-(2-aminoethylthio)butylthio]ethanamine was prepared as a fluorescent sensor and its mercury sensing properties toward various transition metal, alkali, and alkali earth ions were investigated. The designed compound exhibited pronounced Hg2+-selective ON-OFF type fluorescence switching upon binding. The new compound provided hi...
متن کاملReaction of cystathionase with the fluorescent probe bis(dansyl)cystine.
The enzyme cystathionase from rat liver is inactivated by incubation with 5,5’-dithiobis(Z-nitrobenzoic acid) at pH 7.4. The reaction of four -SH groups per mole of enzyme brings about 95% loss of the homoserine deaminase activity. Kinetically, the reactive --SH groups can be classified into two classes. The substrate L-homoserine or the competitive inhibitor L-alanine has no effect on the rate...
