X Abstract

A series of new fluorescent labeling reagents based on sulfoindocyanine dyes has been developed. We describe the synthesis and properties of these reagents. They contain succinimidyl ester reactive groups and can be readily conjugated to antibodies, avidin, DNA, lipids, polymers, and other amino-group-containing materials. The labeling reagents are water soluble, pH insensitive, and show much reduced dye aggregation under labeling conditions. One of the reagents, Cy3, can be excited with the 488-, 514- and 532-nm laser lines and is optimally excited with the 546-nm mercury arc line. Another, Cy5, can be excited with the 633-nm HeNe and 647-nm Kr laser lines available with many flow cytometers and confocal laser-scanning microscopes. New laser diodes emitting near 650 nm should also be excellent excitation sources for Cy5.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
