  30. More on Qdot® Nanocrystals CdS for UV-blue, CdSe for the bulk of the visible spectrum, CdTe for the far red and near-infrared. Qdots are bright: Extinction Coefficient Qdots (.5 to 2 x 106 M-1 cm-1) Similar to RPE1 x 106. Organic dyes ~5-10 x 104. Quantum yields are high as well and they glow longer, so Qdots ~ 10 – 20x brighter. By 2-photon, their action cross section volume is 3 orders of magnitude higher. Excellent labels for conjugation. Brightness provides high sensitivity. Ideal for Multiplexing !

  31. Qdot® Nanocrystals Optimal For: • Single line devices, with multiple detectors (7-8), FLOW, Imaging, uPlate. • Light Microscopy to Electron Microscopy (Ellisman, Deernick). • Two Photon, Small Animal In Vivo Imaging (SAIVI). • Confocal 3 D. • Arrays? When background comes down. • Live cell surface interrogation – primary conjugations. • Archival Pathology. • Single molecule detection. • Sensors? • FRET DONORS. • Multiplex RNAi – Lipofectamine 2000 + Dots + siRNA.

  42. √ √ √ Why Expression Tags for In-Cell Labeling? Live Cell Compatible Protein Specific Labeling

  43. Biarsenical labeling reagents bind to TC tags Tetracysteine (TC) tag is CCPGCC (adds ~1 kD) Figure from G. Parker TC tag = 6 amino acid tag

  44. Tetracysteine tags are relatively small ReAsH Tetracysteine avGFP 505/528 nm 595/610 nm FlAsH-EDT2 ReAsH-EDT2 Green and Red fluorescent versions

  45. Site-specific labeling in living cells CFP TC-FlAsH FRET shows specificity of labeling
