AIE Cancer Yellow, Target and illuminate only the Cancer Cell Mitochondria

생세포와 고정세포 모두에 사용 할 수 있는 암세포 특이적 형광 프로브 

일반적인 형광물질은 ACQ(Aggregation Caused Quenching) 방식으로 응집하면서 발광이 약해지는 문제가 있습니

다. AIEGEN Biotech 사의 probe는 AIE(Aggregation-Induced Emission) 방식으로, 응집되면서 집합체를 형성하면

강한 형광을 발합니다.

The product can be used for quick cell imaging as well as fixed localized imaging.

The product can serve as a photosensitizer to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to induce cell

apoptosis, which can be used for photodynamic therapy.

The product can be excited by 405 nm laser of confocal microscope after co-cultured with cell and the

greenish-yellow signal can be collected above 500 nm.

Cancer Yellow. (a) Bright-field image and (b and c) fluorescent images of HeLa cells stained with (b)

MTR (50 nM) and (c) AIE^TM Cancer Yellow (200 nM) for 20 min. (d) Merged image of panel (b) and (c).

λex: 540~580 nm (MTR) and 400~440 nm (AIE^TM Cancer Yellow); scale bar = 20 μm.

Yellow. (a and c) Bright-field and (b and d) fluorescent images of (a and b) HeLa cells and (c and d) COS-

7 cells incubated with 200 nM of AIE^TM Cancer Yellow for 20 min.

Fluorescent images of different (ad) cancer cells and (ef) normal cells stained with AIE^TM Cancer Yellow

(200 nM) for 20 min. λex: 400~440 nm.

Figure 4: Co-culture different combinations of cancer cell and normal cell in culture medium

with AIE^TM Cancer Yellow. (a, c, e and g) Bright-field images and (b, d, f and h) corresponding

fluorescent images of (a and b) HeLa and COS-7 cells, (c and d) MDA-MB-231 and COS-7 cells, (e and f)

HeLa and MDCK-II cells and (g and h) MCF-7 and COS-7 cells incubated in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle

Medium (DMEM) with AIE^TM Cancer Yellow. Light blue rectangles represent cancer cells and yellow circles

represent normal cells. All the images share the same scale bar: 20 μm.
