Fluorescein Derivatives in Intravital Fluorescence Imaging
Intravital fluorescence microscopy enables the direct imaging of fluorophores in vivo and advanced techniques such as fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) enable the simultaneous detection of multiple fluorophores. Consequently, it is now possible to record distribution and metabolism of a chemical in vivo and to optimise the delivery of fluorophores in vivo. Recent clinical applications with f...
متن کاملAutofluorescent proteins with excitation in the optical window for intravital imaging in mammals.
Fluorescent proteins have become valuable tools for biomedical research as protein tags, reporters of gene expression, biosensor components, and cell lineage tracers. However, applications of fluorescent proteins for deep tissue imaging in whole mammals have been constrained by the opacity of tissues to excitation light below 600 nm, because of absorbance by hemoglobin. Fluorescent proteins tha...
متن کاملWhole-body and intravital optical imaging of angiogenesis in orthotopically implanted tumors.
The development of drugs for the control of tumor angiogenesis requires a simple, accurate, and economical assay for tumor-induced vascularization. We have adapted the orthotopic implantation model to angiogenesis measurement by using human tumors labeled with Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein for grafting into nude mice. The nonluminous induced capillaries are clearly visible against...
متن کاملTime-domain whole-field fluorescence lifetime imaging with optical sectioning.
A whole-field time-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) microscope with the capability to perform optical sectioning is described. The excitation source is a mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser that is regeneratively amplified and frequency doubled to 415 nm. Time-gated fluorescence intensity images at increasing delays after excitation are acquired using a gated microchannel plate image inten...
متن کاملMicroiontophoresis and micromanipulation for intravital fluorescence imaging of the microcirculation.
Microiontophoresis entails passage of current through a micropipette tip to deliver a solute at a designated site within an experimental preparation. Microiontophoresis can simulate synaptic transmission by delivering neurotransmitters and neuropeptides onto neurons reproducibly. Negligible volume (fluid) displacement avoids mechanical disturbance to the experimental preparation. Adapting these...
