Matikonda, Syed Muhammad Usama, Aki Furusawa, Takuya Kato, Lenka Štacková, Petr Klán, Hisataka Kobayashi, Martin J. Schnermann In this study, phototruncation-assisted cell tracking (PACT) was developed to enable spatiotemporal tracking of immune cell populations in vivo. It is based on cyanine photoconversion reaction that leads to 2-carbon truncation and blue shift in the emission wavelength when irradiated with NIR light. ML6600 (780 nm) was used to induce photoconversion both in vitro and Continue reading →
