5 Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP)

6 What are quantum dots? Highly fluorescent, nanometer-size, crystals of semiconductor materials Size of the nanocrystal determines the color Size is tunable from ~2-10 nm (± 3%) Size distribution determines emission band width

7 Alexa Fluor Dye Conjugates

8 The Alexa Fluor family of dyes First and foremost- decent primary antibody. 19 structurally homologous dyes. High molar absorption. (ε max ). High Quantum yields. Low self quenching. High photostability. Insensitive to ph. Excitation maximums tailored to common excitation sources.

9 Alexa Fluor Family members

10 SpectraViewer

11 Just a note : Antifade Reagents ProLong Gold and SlowFade Gold Antifade Reagents ptimized formulation for widest range of dyes. Superior antifade with little or no impact on initial fluorescence intensity. Ready to use - dropper bottle. With Prolong Gold Without Prolong Gold

12 Prolong Gold: More than just bleach protection. Prolong Gold does not affect the initial fluorescence intensity.

13 Just a Note: Image-iT FX Signal Enhancer No Block Blocked with Image-IT FX Blocking Solution 16um Mouse Hippocampus Section, No primary, AF488 GAM Image-IT FX Signal Enhancer suppresses non-specific background

14 Cellular Structure Where it s at? Principal method: Fixed Cell Immunofluorescence Use primary antibody to detect target Use conjugated secondary antibody to detect primary. Fluorescent dyes with intrinsic binding properties (both live and fixed cells). Nucleic acid stains rganelle stains Membrane stains ther fluorescent conjugates Lectins Toxins Receptor Ligands Target Fluorescent Protein Expression systems. rganelle Lights.

30 What s a Biosensor? A biological element (protein) that has been rendered sensitive to an external signal Naturally occurring (e.g. light-sensitive pigments in the eye) Constructed (e.g. blood glucose biosensor) Can be targeted to cell type or organelle Based on naturally occurring fluorescent signal proteins (e.g. GFP) and detector proteins (e.g. calmodulin) P36207 Premo Cameleon Calcium Sensor

Michael Rutten and Kenton Gregory, regon Medical Laser Center Bioimaging Suite, Providence St. Vincent Hospital, Portland, regon

32 Tools for Cell Health Fluorescence-based cell viability assessment methods use various criteria including Mitochondrial potential detection, Membrane integrity, Intracellular enzyme activity. To control for method dependence, two assays with different assessment criteria can be run in parallel using wavelength-multiplexed detection Bacteria, yeast and mammalian cells require different detection methods
