Description
In Vitro
pH Receptor Probe technology utilizes the general ability of GPCRs to be internalized into the endosomal pathway of a cell in response to agonist ligands. The pH Receptor Probe dye is fluorescent in acidic environments, but nonfluorescent at neutral pH. When pH Receptor Probe is bound to a receptor on the extracellular surface of the cell, it is essentially nonfluorescent. On internalization into a cell, it displays a significant increase in fluorescence[1].

Lysosome and acidic-vesicle live-cell staining
Lysosome and acidic-vesicle live-cell staining detects acidic intracellular compartments by using membrane-permeant acidotropic probes that accumulate in low-pH vesicles, including lysosomes, late endosomes, autolysosomes, and acidic phagosomes. LysoTracker staining is commonly used as an intensity-based readout of acidic lysosomal compartment abundance or enlargement, while acridine orange produces green fluorescence in less concentrated compartments and red fluorescence after concentration-dependent accumulation in acidic vesicular organelles. Loss or reduction of acridine-orange red signal can be used as a readout of lysosomal membrane permeabilization or reduced acidic-vesicle integrity. This protocol is designed for live cultured cells and can be adapted for fluorescence microscopy, high-content imaging, plate-reader readout, or flow cytometry when the selected literature supports the readout. Because these dyes report acidotropic accumulation rather than lysosome identity alone,
