A Lysosome-Targetable and Two-Photon Fluorescent Probe for Monitoring Endogenous and Exogenous Nitric Oxide in Living Cells
A lysosome-specific and two-photon fluorescent probe, Lyso-NINO, demonstrates high selectivity and sensitivity toward NO, lower cytotoxicity, and perfect lysosomal localization. With the aid of Lyso-NINO, the first capture of NO within lysosomes of macrophage cells has been achieved using both two-photon fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry.
