Amine Reactive Dyes

FITC (Fluorescein Isothiocyanate), is one of the green fluorescein derivatives widely used in biology. FITC has the characteristics of high absorptivity and excellent fluorescence quantum yield. The isothiocyanate group of FITC can be combined with amino, sulfhydryl, imidazole, tyrosyl, carbonyl and other groups on the protein, so as to achieve protein labeling including antibodies and lectins. In addition to its use as a protein marker, FITC can also be used as a fluorescent protein tracer to rapidly identify pathogens by labeling antibodies, or for microsequencing of proteins and peptides (HPLC). The maximum excitation wavelength of FITC is 494 nm. Once excited, it fluoresces yellow-green at a maximum emission wavelength of 520 nm. In addition, FITC is also a hapten that can induce contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and induce an atopic dermatitis model.

Cy5.5 is a CY dye. CY, short for Cyanine, is a compound consisting of two nitrogen atoms connected by an odd number of methyl units. Cyanine compounds have the characteristics of long wavelength, adjustable absorption and emission, high extinction coefficient, good water solubility and relatively simple synthesis. CY dyes are of en used for the labeling of proteins, antibodies and small molecular compounds. For the labeling of protein antibodies, the combination can be completed through a simple mixing reaction. Below, we introduce the labeling method of protein antibody labeling, which has certain reference significance.

Cy5-SE (Cy5 NHS Ester) is a reactive dye for the labeling of amino-groups in peptides, proteins, and oligonucleotides. This dye requires small amount of organic co-solvent (such as DMF or DMSO) to be used in labeling reaction. This reagent is ideal for very cost-efficient labeling of soluble proteins, as well as all kinds of peptides and oligonucleotides. This reagent also works well in organic solvents for small molecule labeling. Excitation (nm):649, Emission (nm): 670.

BODIPY493/503 methyl bromide is a BODIPY dye. BODIPY dye is a small molecule dye with strong ultraviolet absorption ability, its fluorescence peak is relatively sharp, and the quantum yield is high. They are relatively insensitive to the polarity and pH of the environment and are relatively stable under different physiological conditions. Due to its structural asymmetry, BODIPY derives a variety of structural products. BODIPY lipid droplet dyes can well pass through the cell membrane into the cell, and localize the neutral lipids in the cell to specifically stain the lipid droplets, which can be used for labeling of live cells and fixed cells. Maximum excitation/emission wavelength: 493/503 nm.

BODIPY 576/589 NHS ester (BODIPY 576/589 Succinimidyl ester) is an active fluorophore containing the BODIPY 576/589 fluorophore and an NHS ester. BODIPY 576/589 NHS ester can covalently couple red fluorescence to biomolecules containing primary amines (-NH2), such as proteins, antibodies, peptides, and oligonucleotides. BODIPY 576/589 NHS ester can also be used to prepare BODIPY 576/589-Met-tRNA_fMet to achieve N-terminal co-translational labeling of nascent proteins (Ex/Em = 576/589 nm).

5-TAMRA-SE is an amine-reactive fluorescent agent, and its conjugate produces bright, pH-insensitive orange-red fluorescence with good photostability (Ex/Em = 565/580 nm).

BODIPY FL NHS ester (BODIPY FL, SE) is a cell membranes-penatrable amine-reactive fluorescent probe. The maximum excitation/emission wavelength of the BODIPY-FL NHS ester are 502/511 nm, respectively. BODIPY-FL NHS ester has high stability and is insensitive to the polarity, pH and type of solvent, and can maintain stable fluorescence properties under different environmental conditions. BODIPY-FL NHS ester can be used for the synthesis of protease substrates, live cell imaging, protein labeling and immunoassay.

NBD-Cl is a nonfluorescent reagent which becomes highly fluorescent after reaction with thiol or amino groups.

5-TAMRA can produce bright, pH-insensitive orange-red fluorescence (excitation and emission extremes of 546/579) and has good photostability. 5-TAMRA is mainly used as a fluorescent marker for the synthesis and study of specific oligonucleotide probes.

5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein (5(6)-FAM) is an amine-reactive pH-sensitive green fluorescent probe. 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein (5(6)-FAM) can be used to label proteins, peptides and nucleotides. 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein can be used for the detection of tumour areas in vivo.

5(6)-CFDA is a common aliphatic luciferin-line organism. CFDA conducts free diffusion into cells, and then it is hydrolyzed into carboxyl fluorescein (CF) by intracellular non-specific lipase. CF containing portion contains an additional negative charge so that it is better retained in cells, compared to fluorescein dyes.
