ROSFluor™ Series

NiSPY-3

[Nitrative stress sensing probe]

495-540 nm:Green

NiSPY-3 (Nitrative Stress Sensing Pyrromethene Dye) is a reagent to detect nitrosative stress by fluorescence. NiSPY-3 reacts specifically with peroxynitrite (ONOO) among other reactive oxygen species such as ・OH, ・O2 , H2O2, 1O2, NO, etc. Fluorescent intensity is not increased by the existence of hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, nitric oxide or superoxide. It can beused for live cell fluorescent imaging.

    Principle of detection with NiSPY-3

    NiSPY-3 does not show fluorescence in neutral solutions. When NiSPY-3 reacts with peroxynitrite, it becomes a strongly fluorescent substance (excitation: 490 nm, emission: 515 nm).

    Preparation of the reagent

    Dissolve all the reagent in 430 μL of DMSO (5mmol/L), and then dilute 500-5000 times with neutral buffer (final concentration: 1-10 μM) before use. We recommend to use up at once after probes are diluted.

FAQ

  • Q Let me know an example protocol for live-cell imaging.
    A

    This protocol is for the staining of HeLa cells. Add 2 μM NiSPY-3 to the culture medium (DMEM + 8% FBS + 100 units/mL penicillin + 100 mg/mL streptomycin) with 0.01% DMF and 0.01% Cremophor EL as cosolvent, and culture for 20 minutes. Then wash the cells with HBSS 2 times and observe by fluorescent microscopy. Use blue excitation filter set or 488 nm laser excitation. Post stimulation by peroxynitrite may increase the intracellular peroxynitrite concentration and increase in the fluorescence of NiSPY-3.
