Imaging the Neutrophil Phagosome and Cytoplasm Using a Ratiometric pH Indicator
Neutrophils are crucial to host innate defense and, consequently, constitute an important area of medical research. The phagosome, the intracellular compartment where the killing and digestion of engulfed particles take place, is the main arena for neutrophil pathogen killing that requires tight regulation. Phagosomal pH is one aspect that is carefully controlled, in turn regulating antimicrobi...
متن کاملTemporal changes of lysosome and phagosome pH during phagolysosome formation in macrophages: studies by fluorescence spectroscopy
Intravascular pH was measured within the lysosomes and newly formed phagosomes in cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages. The kinetics of pH change in both vacuolar systems was quantitatively determined within a large cell population by fluorescence spectroscopy. Additionally, pH changes within individual phagosomes were followed semiquantitatively using indicator dyes. Two novel findings were m...
متن کاملMeasuring single-molecule nucleic acid dynamics in solution by two-color filtered ratiometric fluorescence correlation spectroscopy.
This work presents a general method for determining single-molecule intramolecular dynamics in biomolecules by using a reporter fluorophore, whose fluorescence is quenched or partially quenched as a result of intramolecular motion, and a remote observer fluorophore. These fluorophores were excited independently with two different lasers, and the ratio of the two fluorophores' fluorescence was c...
متن کاملLaser-assisted fluorescence microscopy for measuring cell membrane dynamics.
Membranes of living cells are characterized by laser-assisted fluorescence microscopy, in particular a combination of microspectrofluorometry, total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) and Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) spectroscopy. The generalized polarization (GP, characterizing a spectral shift which depends on the phase of mem...
متن کاملFluorescence microscopy for measuring fibril angles in pine tracheids.
—Observation and measurement of fibril angles in increment cores or similar small samples from living pine trees was facilitated by the use of fluorescence microscopy. Although some autofluorescence was present, brighter images could be obtained by staining the specimens with a 0.1% aqueous solution of a fluoro chrome (Calcozine flavine TG extra concentrated, Calcozine red 6G extra, rhodamine ...
