Quantitative performance characterization of three-dimensional noncontact fluorescence molecular tomography.
Fluorescent proteins and dyes are routine tools for biological research to describe the behavior of genes, proteins, and cells, as well as more complex physiological dynamics such as vessel permeability and pharmacokinetics. The use of these probes in whole body in vivo imaging would allow extending the range and scope of current biomedical applications and would be of great interest. In order ...
متن کاملFluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) sensors
The principle of "fluorescence resonance energy transfer" (FRET) has been exploited in cell biology to demonstrate the interaction of two proteins in living cells. FRET is highly specific and sensitive and allows for the online recording of events that modulate the interaction. We here demonstrate that FRET-based sensor molecules represent an alternative in monitoring receptor-dependent signall...
متن کاملQuantitative Fluorescence Photoacoustic Tomography
Fluorescence photoacoustic tomography (fPAT) is a multi-modality biomedical imaging technique that combines the high-resolution ultrasound imaging with the highcontrast fluorescence optical tomography. In the first step of fPAT, one utilizes the photoacoustic effect to recover the total absorbed energy map inside the media with ultrasound tomography. In the second step, called quantitative fPAT...
متن کاملFluorescence Lifetime Readouts of Troponin-C-Based Calcium FRET Sensors: A Quantitative Comparison of CFP and mTFP1 as Donor Fluorophores
We have compared the performance of two Troponin-C-based calcium FRET sensors using fluorescence lifetime read-outs. The first sensor, TN-L15, consists of a Troponin-C fragment inserted between CFP and Citrine while the second sensor, called mTFP-TnC-Cit, was realized by replacing CFP in TN-L15 with monomeric Teal Fluorescent Protein (mTFP1). Using cytosol preparations of transiently transfecte...
متن کاملQuantitative in vivo imaging of molecular distances using FLIM-FRET
Genetically encoded labelling by fluorescent proteins has opened the possibility to observe protein distribution and localisation by fluorescence microscopy. A direct visualisation of these nanometre sized molecules is, however, not possible due to the Abbe limit of diffraction (about 200 nm in confocal microscopes). As an alternative, indirect methods such as Förster Resonance Energy Transfer ...
