Observing three-dimensional dynamics of the nucleus in live cells, Abbkine will give you great experiences !

Live-cell imaging technique allows real-time examination of almost every aspect of cellular function under normal and experimental conditions, so it is especially popular with cytology researchers. Abbkine TraKine™ Pro is a series of cell-permeable organic fluorescent probes which can selectively recognize and label organelles. Currently, we launched the staining kits involve tubulin, lysosome, mitochondrion and nuclei. This paper introduces the TraKine™ Pro Live-cell Nuclei Staining kit (Deep Red Fluorescence with Super Resolution).

Function of nucleus

The nucleus is the largest and most important cell structure in eukaryotic cells, mainly composed of nuclear envelope, chromatin, nuclear skeleton, nucleolus and nucleosome. Nuclear membrane is a two-layer membrane that completely encloses the nucleus and separates the material within the membrane from the cytoplasm and lamina.

The nucleus contains most of the cell’s genome, organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules in a complex with a large variety of proteins, such as histones, to form chromosomes. It is the regulatory center of cell heredity and metabolism, and plays an important role in cell metabolism, growth and differentiation.

Commercially available nucleus fluorescent probes

The nucleus is the place where the genetic material is stored and reproduced, and it is also the control center of cellular heredity and cell metabolism. Studying its function, mechanism, dynamics and interaction is important direction for cytology researchers.

At present, the existing nuclear dyes (such as PI, DAPI, ethd-1, etc.) are mostly used for dying cell staining, apoptosis research, nuclear counterstaining, and so on. Hoechst dye is a compound synthesized by Hoechst AG originally, which is soluble in water and organic solvents. It can cross cell membranes and bind to living or fixed cells, the fluorescence intensity enhanced along with the increase of the pH value of the solution.

However, there is no dye that can be used to observe the dynamics of living cell nucleus very well currently. Abbkine researchers developed a unique TraKine™ Pro fluorescent probe that can track the 3d dynamics of living cell nucleus for a long time with ultra-high resolution.

The TraKine™ Pro nuclear fluorescence probe has been specially optimized, which contains a fluorescent dye and a small molecular group that specifically identifies the nucleus, to locate the nucleus and track its dynamics and changes. It is the only highly specific live cell nuclear staining product on the market.
