Rhodamine dyes are membrane-permeable cationic fluorescent probes that specifically recognize mitochondrial membrane potentials, thereby attaching to mitochondria and producing bright fluorescence, and at certain concentrations, rhodamine dyes have low toxicity to cells, so they are commonly used to detect mitochondria in animal cells, plant cells, and microorganisms.

Description

Rhodamine dyes are membrane-permeable cationic fluorescent probes that specifically recognize mitochondrial membrane potentials, thereby attaching to mitochondria and producing bright fluorescence, and at certain concentrations, rhodamine dyes have low toxicity to cells, so they are commonly used to detect mitochondria in animal cells, plant cells, and microorganisms[1].

In Vitro

1.Preparation of Rhodamine 800 working solution
1.1Preparation of the stock solution
Dissolve 1 mg Rhodamine 800 in 525 μL DMSO to obtain 5 mM of stock solution.
1.2Preparation of Rhodamine 800 working solution
Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to obtain 1-20 μM of working solution.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of Rhodamine 800 working solution according to the actual situation.
2.Cell staining
2.1 Suspension cells (6-well plate)
a.Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4℃ for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.The cell density is 1×106/mL.
b.Add 1 mL of working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 5-30 minutes.
c.Centrifuge at 400 g at 4℃ for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
d.Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
e.Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
2.2 Adherent cells
a.Culture adherent cells on sterile coverslips.
b.Remove the coverslip from the medium and aspirate excess medium.
c.Add 100 μL of working solution, gently shake it to completely cover the cells,and then incubate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
d.Wash twice with medium, 5 minutes each time. Observation by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
Note: If detection by flow cytometry, cells need to be resuspended before staining.

Kinase Assay
[2]

Rhodamine 800 (Rh800) and indocyanine green (ICG) are dissolved in PBS and their concentrations are set to 40 nM. To 3 mL of Rhodamine 800 solution (40 nM/PBS), 100 μL of p-sulfonatocalix[n]arenes (S[n]) (1 mM) is added. To this solution, microliter aliquots of acetylcholine (ACh) (350 mM) are added under stirring. After 2 min stirring, fluorescence spectra are measured. For the competitive fluorophore displacement by other neurotransmitters, amino acids, ammonium chloride, and choline, similar procedure as the above method is applied[2].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
