Fig 1. Bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells. The mitochondria of bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells stained with MitoTracker® Red CM-H2XRos (Cat. No. M7513). The cells were subsequently fixed, permeabilized and treated with RNase. Then the nuclei were stained with SYTOX® Green nucleic acid stain (Cat. No. S7020). The multiple-exposure photomicrograph was acquired using a fluorescence microscope equipped with bandpass filter sets appropriate for fluorescein and Texas Red® dyes.
MitoTracker Probes系列探针ZT:
Mitotracker正克服传统探针的缺点而被生产,其能够聚集在活线粒体上,并且细胞固定中也能良好维持。其中,Mitotracker orange,red,and deep red这三种探针经透化(permeabilization)后仍能良好维持。在接下来免疫细胞化学(ICC)、原位杂交(ISH)或电镜实验的处理步骤中样本仍保留线粒体的活细胞染色形态。另外,Mitotracker探针去除病原细胞线粒体染色可能遇到的一些问题,因为一旦线粒体染色后,细胞即可被固定然后进行结果分析。
