Application of an inhibitor-based probe to reveal the distribution of membrane PSMA in dSTORM imaging

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Nov 7;56(86):13241-13244. doi: 10.1039/d0cc04889e. Epub 2020 Oct 8.

Abstract

Relying on an inhibitor-based probe, we reveal the clustered distribution of membrane PSMA by dSTORM imaging and uncover its potential interaction with folate receptor. This inhibitor-based strategy realizes more accurate labeling than antibody labeling, which would make it a powerful tool in the field of dSTORM imaging.
