CFSE-Tz is a fluorescent bioorthogonal probe constructed based on the IEDDA reaction, which is mainly used for visual tracing of amino acid uptake in living cells. The tetrazine group within the CFSE-Tz molecule quenches CFSE fluorescence via photoinduced electron transfer; after the probe specifically undergoes a bioorthogonal reaction with trans-cyclooctene-modified amino acids, the quenching effect is eliminated, and a green fluorescent signal is released, thereby dynamically monitoring the intracellular amino acid uptake process. CFSE-Tz can be applied to in vitro single-cell fluorescence imaging and studies related to amino acid metabolism in tumor cells (Ex = 495 nm, Em = 519 nm)[1][2].

Description

CFSE-Tz is a fluorescent bioorthogonal probe constructed based on the IEDDA reaction, which is mainly used for visual tracing of amino acid uptake in living cells. The tetrazine group within the CFSE-Tz molecule quenches CFSE fluorescence via photoinduced electron transfer; after the probe specifically undergoes a bioorthogonal reaction with trans-cyclooctene-modified amino acids, the quenching effect is eliminated, and a green fluorescent signal is released, thereby dynamically monitoring the intracellular amino acid uptake process. CFSE-Tz can be applied to in vitro single-cell fluorescence imaging and studies related to amino acid metabolism in tumor cells (Ex = 495 nm, Em = 519 nm)[1][2].

In Vitro

CFSE-Tz (compound 1) (1 μM; 1 hour, up to 80 minutes) and its intracellular product mimic CFSE-Tz-amide (compound 17) exhibit a dose-independent fluorescence turn-on effect after esterase hydrolysis and an IEDDA reaction with strained alkene-modified nutrient analogs; among these, the nutrient modified with trans-cyclooctene shows the fastest reaction rate[1].
CFSE-Tz exhibits no toxicity toward HeLa cells[1].
CFSE-Tz (0-50 μM; 30 minutes, 15-120 minutes) enables concentration- and time-dependent detection of energy-dependent nutrient uptake in HeLa cells[1].
CFSE-Tz (50 μM; 30 minutes, up to 80 minutes) enables real-time live-cell monitoring of nutrient uptake in HeLa cells, and the intracellular IEDDA reaction achieves a completion rate of >80% within 15 minutes of nutrient uptake[1].
CFSE-Tz (50 μM; 30 minutes) enables live-cell, single-cell visualization of nutrient uptake in HeLa cells via confocal microscopy, with the fluorescent signal increasing over time as nutrient uptake and intracellular IEDDA reactions occur[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
