NeuN, a neuronal specific nuclear protein in vertebrates.
A battery of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against brain cell nuclei has been generated by repeated immunizations. One of these, mAb A60, recognizes a vertebrate nervous system- and neuron-specific nuclear protein that we have named NeuN (Neuronal Nuclei). The expression of NeuN is observed in most neuronal cell types throughout the nervous system of adult mice. However, some major cell types ap...
متن کاملStimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy of a fluorescent protein-labeled organelle inside a living cell.
We demonstrate far-field optical imaging with subdiffraction resolution of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the interior of a living mammalian cell. The diffraction barrier is overcome by applying stimulated emission depletion (STED) on a yellow fluorescent protein tag. Imaging individual structural elements of the ER revealed a focal plane (x, y) resolution of <50 nm inside the living cell, c...
متن کاملSTED nanoscopy with fluorescent quantum dots
The widely popular class of quantum-dot molecular labels could so far not be utilized as standard fluorescent probes in STED (stimulated emission depletion) nanoscopy. This is because broad quantum-dot excitation spectra extend deeply into the spectral bands used for STED, thus compromising the transient fluorescence silencing required for attaining super-resolution. Here we report the discover...
متن کاملSTED nanoscopy reveals the ubiquity of subcortical cytoskeleton periodicity in living neurons.
In the axons of cultured hippocampal neurons, actin forms various structures, including bundles, patches (involved in the preservation of neuronal polarity), and a recently reported periodic ring-like structure. Nevertheless, the overlaying organization of actin in neurons and in the axon initial segment (AIS) is still unclear, due mainly to a lack of adequate imaging methods. By harnessing liv...
متن کاملDual-label STED nanoscopy of living cells using photochromism.
We demonstrate live-cell STED microscopy of two protein species using photochromic green fluorescent proteins as markers. The reversible photoswitching of two markers is implemented so that they can be discerned with a single excitation and STED wavelength and a single detection channel. Dual-label STED microscopy is shown in living mammalian cells.
