Fluorescein isothiocyanate (fitc)

Manufactured by Yeasen
Sourced in China

Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) is a fluorescent dye commonly used in various laboratory techniques. It is a derivative of fluorescein and is known for its ability to emit green fluorescence when exposed to blue or ultraviolet light. FITC is commonly used for labeling and detecting proteins, cells, and other biomolecules in applications such as flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and fluorescence microscopy.

Fluorescent FYGL Labeling and Cellular Uptake

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect the absorption of FYGL in cells, FITC-labeled FYGL was prepared. FITC
(Yeasen Biotechnology) was dissolved in DMSO, and water-soluble FYGL was dissolved in Na2CO3/NaHCO3 buffer. FITC (1 mg/mL) was added into the FYGL solution (1 mg/mL) to form FITC-FYGL, and the mixture
was incubated in the dark at 4 °C for 12 h. Extensive dialysis
of the mixture was performed using 1 L of PBS in the dark until the
unreacted FITC was removed. Finally, FITC-FYGL was
obtained. The ultraviolet (UV) spectra of FITC, FYGL, and FITC-FYGL are shown in Figure S9. FITC has a maximum UV absorption at 495 nm, while FYGL is a proteoglycan and has a maximum UV absorption at
280 nm. It can be estimated that the ratio of FYGL and FITC in FITC-FYGL is 100:117 according to the
following equation:62 (link) where F and P represent FITC
and protein, and A denotes the absorbance. C2C12 myoblasts were seeded
at a density of 2 × 105 cells/well in six-well plates,
and fully differentiated myotubes were incubated with 100 μg/mL
FITC-FYGL for 4 h. DAPI (Beyotime, Shanghai, China)
and rhodamine phalloidin were used for nuclear and cytoskeleton staining,
respectively. The absorption of FITC-FYGL in C2C12
myotubes was observed under a laser confocal microscope (C2+; Nikon,
Tokyo, Japan).

It was stirred for 24 hours at 25 °C in a shaker at 180 rpm. Finally, it was centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant was removed to obtain a DLSP solution. Lysine was diluted tenfold, and 5 mL diluted lysine was added to the DLSP sample. The sample was stirred for 6 h on a magnetic stirrer. Positively charged 1-μm mesoporous silica particles loaded with DOX were obtained. The DLSP pellets were placed in a 1 mL centrifuge tube. At the same time, FITC with a mass concentration of 1 mg/mL was added to the centrifuge tube. The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 4 h in the dark. Finally, a green fluorescent DLSP was obtained.

The PFTBA core solution preparation was carried out in accordance with previous investigations [33 (link)]. Briefly, 190 ​mg of egg yolk lecithin (Sigma, USA) was dissolved in 1 ​mL of Tyrode's solution (Sigma, USA), and mixed via ultrasonic shaker twice at 4 ​°C for 15 ​s. Subsequently, 1 ​mL of PFTBA stock solution was introduced, followed by sonic concussion 10 times under the same parameters. In control groups (without PFTBA), PBS (Gibco, USA) was introduced instead. Finally, carboxyl-chitosan (Sigma, USA) was introduced to the above emulsion to form a gelatinized core solution. Varying concentrations of carboxyl chitosan (5% w/v, 7.5% w/v, 10% w/v, 12.5% w/v, 15% w/v; 20% w/v, Sigma, USA) were used to form the optimal structure. In addition, to prepare the shell solution, 20% w/v polycaprolactone (PCL, Sigma, USA) particles were dissolved in methanol-chloroform solution, in a 1:4 v/v ratio. To observe the electrospinning process, Rhodamine B (1 ​mg/mL, Sigma, USA) was mixed with the shell material, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC; 2 ​mg/mL, YEASEN, China) with the core material, and the core-shell structure was fluorescently labeled during the electrospinning process.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
