[Visualizaion of βgalactosidase in the cell and detection of SA-b-Gal, senescent cell.]GlycoYELLOW™-βGal
~For gene analysis of lacZ in ‘live’ cell~
- Usable for Live Cell Imaging
- High sensitivity
- High retention ability in cell
GlycoYELLOW™–βGal is a specific fluorescent probe for detection of β-galactosidase. It can be applied to fluorescent imaging and selection of cell and tissue transfected with lacZ.
Because GlycoYELLOW™–βGal is almost non-fluorescent in the absence of β-galactosidase, this probe exhibits good S/N ratio.
GlycoYELLOW™–βGal is suitable for…
-
-
- Gene analysis by fluorescent imaging.
- Monitoring transfection efficiency and live cell imaging of transfected cell.
- Study in promoter or enhancer.
-

Figure 2. Live cell imaging of 293/LacZ (b-galactosidase expressing cell line) and HEK293 cell by using GlycoYELLOW™–βGal. Comparing these cell lines, strong fluorescence derived from GlycoYELLOW™–βGal was observed inside 293/LacZ cell.
- High Sensitivity
