In vivo monitoring of carbonic anhydrase expression during the growth of larval zebrafish: a new environment-sensitive fluorophore for responsive turn-on fluorescence

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Sep 28;56(76):11307-11310. doi: 10.1039/d0cc03090b. Epub 2020 Aug 25.

Abstract

This study monitors the dynamic progress of a newly developed background-free, target responsive strategy; 2,3-dihydroquinolin-4-imine (DQI) that can instantly respond to environmental changes with fluorescence enhancement, revealing a comprehensive platform for in vivo fluorescence bioimaging of mebrane-bound carbonic anhydrase II in HeLa cells and its expression during the growth of larval zebrafish.
