Correction: Fluorescent glycoconjugates and their applications

PREPARATION AND APPLICATIONS OF FLUORESCENT POLYGLUTARALDEHYDE IMMUNOMICROSPHERES

Aqueous glutaraldehyde has been polymerized under alkaline conditions in the presence of a surfactant to yield microspheres of varied diameters. Microbeads of a nominal 300 nm diameter, made fluorescent via fluoresceinisothiocyanate, were used as a carrier of rabbit anti-human red blood cell antibodies. Specific labeling of the human red blood cells as well as diagnostic use of these fluor...

Photoswitchable fluorescent nanoparticles and their emerging applications.

Although fluorescence offers ultrasensitivity, real-world applications of fluorescence techniques encounter many practical problems. As a noninvasive means to investigate biomolecular mechanisms, pathways, and regulations in living cells, the intrinsic heterogeneity and inherent complexity of biological samples always generates optical interferences such as autofluorescence. Therefore, innovati...

Magentotactic bacteria and their applications

Magentotactic bacteria are the types of bacteria capable of orientation in an external magnetic field because of the ability to produce structures called magnetosomes. Magnetosomes, nanometer-scale structures, are present in most of the magnetotactice bacteria. They are intracellular organelles composed of magnetic iron mineral crystals individually surrounded by a phospholipid layer. Because o...

Green Fluorescent Protein and Their Applications in Advance Research

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria and its homologs from diverse marine animals are widely used in biological science as a universal genetically encoded fluorescent labels. Many laboratories have focused their efforts on identification and development of fluorescent proteins with novel characteristics and enhanced properties, resulting in a powerful toolkit for...
