Development of agents for reinforcement of fluorescence on near-infrared ray excitation for immunohistological staining

Bioorg Med Chem. 1998 May;6(5):613-8. doi: 10.1016/s0968-0896(98)00023-6.

Abstract

Fluorescence intensity of indocyanine green (ICG) derivative (ICG-sulfo-OSu) was too low for its use to detect microlesions. Therefore, we examined the effects of reinforcement agents on ICG-sulfo-OSu labeled antibodies. Solutions of distearoylphosphatic acid sodium salt (DSPA) and octylglucoside (OG) in physiological phosphate buffered saline (PBS) were found to increase the intensity of fluorescence of ICG-sulfo-OSu labeled antibodies, with shift in the fluorescence peak wavelength from 804 to 821 nm.
