    摘要: Modifications in the sequence of Aequorea wild-type GFP provide products having markedly different excitation and emission spectra from corresponding products from wild-type GFP. In one class of modifications, the product derived from the modified GFP exhibits an alteration in the ratio of two main excitation peaks observed with the product derived from wild-type GFP. In another class, the product derived from the modified GFP fluoresces at a shorter wavelength than the corresponding product from wild-type GFP. In yet another class of modifications, the product derived from the modified GFP exhibits only a single excitation peak and enhanced emission relative to the product derived from wild-type GFP.

    摘要: A new class of optical indicators which are capable of memorizing and preserving the spatial localization of intracellular analytes in a time resolved manner is described. The compounds comprise a chromophore carrying a photolabile group capable of undergoing an irreversible and detectable chemical transformation upon irradiation by light. The chromophore is linked to a binding site capable of binding an analyte, wherein binding of the analyte to the binding site alters an optical property of the chromophore, thus altering the ability of the photolabile group to undergo the chemical transformation. Methods and kits for memorizing the spatial localization of the analytes are also described.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a group of organic chelators whose affinity for calcium ion in solution is decreased by electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, the chelators are related to fura-2 and utilize the addition of an azide group to the 3-position of the benzofuron ring of a fura-2 type structure. Photolysis of the azide group causes the calcium ion affinity to decrease 100 to 1000 fold. These chelators when incorporated into rat fibroblasts either by microinjection or by incubation as the membrane-permeable, enzymatically-labile esters and flash-photolyzed cause large increases in intracellular free calcium ion. These chelators are used to generate controlled fast elevation of intracellular free calcium ion concentration to mimic or modulate a number of important cellular responses, especially in nerve or muscle.

    摘要: A scanning confocal microscope scans a sample with an incident beam of radiation, in a raster scan pattern, causing the sample to fluoresce and emit visible radiation in at least two wavelengths. A portion of the fluorescent light retraces a portion of the path optical of incident beam, to a dichroic mirror that separates it from the incident beam for detection by a pair of photomultiplier tubes. A data processor accumulates digital data from the photomultiplier tubes to form a succession of image data frames of the sample being scanned, in the two wavelengths. Image data for a selected number of frames in each wavelength is averaged and then recorded on a single track of a recording system, in an alternating fashion with averaged data for the other wavelength. In addition, a ratio of the averaged data for the two wavelengths is delivered to a video display.

    摘要: The invention discloses fluorescent chelator compounds that are especially useful to monitor and measure cytosolic concentrations of alkali metal cations such as Na.sup.+, K.sup.+, and Li.sup.+. The new compounds are comprised of: (1) crown ethers (that may or may not have substituent groups attached to the core carbons, but will always contain at least one core nitrogen) that are linked via the core nitrogen(s) to at least one (2) fluorophore that contains an additional heteroaromatic liganding center. In the currently preferred dye, SBFI, the core compound is crown ether 1,7-diaza-4,10,13-trioxacyclopentadecane and the heteroaromatic fluorophores are benzofurans that are linked to isophthalate groups. Selectivities for Na.sup.+ over K.sup.+ of about 20 are observed, resulting in effective dissociation constants for Na.sup.+ of about 20 mM against a background of 120 mM K.sup.+. Increasing [Na.sup.+ ] increases the ratio of excitation efficiency at 330-345 nm to that at 370-390 nm with emission collected at 450-550 nm, so that ratio fluorometry and imaging work at the same wavelengths as used with the well-known Ca.sup.2+ indicator fura-2. If the macrocyclic ring is increased in size to a 1,10-diaza-4,7,13,16-tetraoxacyclooctadecane, the chelators become selective for K.sup.+ over Na.sup.+. If the ring is decreased in size, for example to a 1,7-diaza-4,10-dioxacyclododecane, the chelators become selective for Li.sup.+ over Na.sup.+.
