Detection of autofluorescence can be minimized either by selecting filters that reduce the transmission of E2 relative to E1 or by selecting probes that absorb and emit at longer wavelengths.
Although narrowing the fluorescence detection bandwidth increases the resolution of E1 and E2, it also compromises the overall fluorescence intensity detected. Furthermore, at longer wavelengths, light scattering by dense media such as tissues is much reduced, resulting in greater penetration of the excitation light. A multicolor labeling experiment entails the deliberate introduction of two or more probes to simultaneously monitor different biochemical functions. This technique has major applications in flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, fluorescence in situ hybridization and fluorescence microscopy.
Signal isolation and data analysis are facilitated by maximizing the spectral separation of the multiple emissions E1 and E2 in Figure 7. An ideal combination of dyes for multicolor labeling would exhibit strong absorption at a coincident excitation wavelength and well-separated emission spectra Figure 7. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find single dyes with the requisite combination of a large extinction coefficient for absorption and a large Stokes shift.
Qdot nanocrystals Qdot Nanocrystals—Section 6. With this type of indicator, the ratio of the optical signals S1 and S2 in Figure 7 can be used to monitor the association equilibrium and to calculate ion concentrations. Ratiometric measurements eliminate distortions of data caused by photobleaching and variations in probe loading and retention, as well as by instrumental factors such as illumination stability Loading and Calibration of Intracellular Ion Indicators—Note Fluorophores currently used as fluorescent probes offer sufficient permutations of wavelength range, Stokes shift and spectral bandwidth to meet requirements imposed by instrumentation e.
Our online Fluorescence SpectraViewer provides an interactive utility for evaluating these factors during the experimental design process Using the Fluorescence SpectraViewer—Note Absorption and emission efficiencies are most usefully quantified in terms of the molar extinction coefficient EC for absorption and the quantum yield QY for fluorescence.
Both are constants under specific environmental conditions. The value of EC is specified at a single wavelength usually the absorption maximum , whereas QY is a measure of the total photon emission over the entire fluorescence spectral profile.
The range of these parameters among organic dye and autofluorescent protein fluorophores is approximately to , cm -1 M -1 for EC and 0. Phycobiliproteins such as R-phycoerythrin Phycobiliproteins—Section 6. Under high-intensity illumination conditions, the irreversible destruction or photobleaching of the excited fluorophore becomes the primary factor limiting fluorescence detectability. The multiple photochemical reaction pathways responsible for photobleaching have been investigated and described in considerable detail.
Some pathways include reactions between adjacent dye molecules, making the process considerably more complex in labeled biological specimens than in dilute solutions of free dye.
In all cases, photobleaching originates from the triplet excited state, which is created from the singlet state S1, Figure 2 via an excited-state process called intersystem crossing. The most effective remedy for photobleaching is to maximize detection sensitivity, which allows the excitation intensity to be reduced.
Detection sensitivity is enhanced by low-light detection devices such as CCD cameras, as well as by high—numerical aperture objectives and the widest bandpass emission filters compatible with satisfactory signal isolation.
Alternatively, a less photolabile fluorophore may be substituted in the experiment. In general, it is difficult to predict the necessity for and effectiveness of such countermeasures because photobleaching rates are dependent to some extent on the fluorophore's environment. Figure 8. Comparison of photostability of green-fluorescent antibody conjugates.
Samples were continuously illuminated and viewed on a fluorescence microscope using a fluorescein longpass filter set. Images were acquired every 5 seconds. For each conjugate, three data sets, representing different fields of view, were averaged and then normalized to the same initial fluorescence intensity value to facilitate comparison. Figure 9. Photobleaching resistance of the green-fluorescent Alexa Fluor , Oregon Green and fluorescein dyes, as determined by laser-scanning cytometry.
After mounting, cells were scanned 10 times on a laser-scanning cytometer; laser power levels were 25 mW for the nm spectral line of the argon-ion laser. Scan durations were approximately 5 minutes, and each repetition was started immediately after completion of the previous scan.
Data are expressed as percentages derived from the mean fluorescence intensity MFI of each scan divided by the MFI of the first scan. The most straightforward way to enhance fluorescence signals is to increase the number of fluorophores available for detection. Fluorescent signals can be amplified using 1 avidin—biotin or antibody—hapten secondary detection techniques, 2 enzyme-labeled secondary detection reagents in conjunction with fluorogenic substrates or 3 probes that contain multiple fluorophores such as phycobiliproteins or FluoSpheres fluorescent microspheres.
Our most sensitive reagents and methods for signal amplification are discussed in Ultrasensitive Detection Technology—Chapter 6. Simply increasing the probe concentration can be counterproductive and often produces marked changes in the probe's chemical and optical characteristics. It is important to note that the effective intracellular concentration of probes loaded by bulk permeabilization methods Loading and Calibration of Intracellular Ion Indicators—Note Also, increased labeling of proteins or membranes ultimately leads to precipitation of the protein or gross changes in membrane permeability.
Antibodies labeled with more than four to six fluorophores per protein may exhibit reduced specificity and reduced binding affinity. Furthermore, at high degrees of substitution, the extra fluorescence obtained per added fluorophore typically decreases due to self-quenching Figure Figure Comparison of relative fluorescence as a function of the number of fluorophores attached per protein for goat anti—mouse IgG antibody conjugates prepared using Oregon Green carboxylic acid succinimidyl ester O , , Oregon Green carboxylic acid succinimidyl ester O , , fluoresceinEX succinimidyl ester F , and fluorescein isothiocyanate FITC; F , F , F ;.
Conjugate fluorescence is determined by measuring the fluorescence quantum yield of the conjugated dye relative to that of the free dye and multiplying by the number of fluorophores per protein. Fluorescence spectra and quantum yields are generally more dependent on the environment than absorption spectra and extinction coefficients.
Interactions either between two adjacent fluorophores or between a fluorophore and other species in the surrounding environment can produce environment-sensitive fluorescence. Fluorescence quenching can be defined as a bimolecular process that reduces the fluorescence quantum yield without changing the fluorescence emission spectrum Table 1 ; it can result from transient excited-state interactions collisional quenching or from formation of nonfluorescent ground-state species.
Self-quenching is the quenching of one fluorophore by another; it therefore tends to occur when high loading concentrations or labeling densities are used Figure 10 , Figure Comparison of the relative fluorescence of goat anti—mouse IgG antibody conjugates of Rhodamine Red-X succinimidyl ester R , and Lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl chloride. Higher numbers of fluorophores attached per protein are attainable with Rhodamine Red-X dye due to the lesser tendency of this dye to induce protein precipitation.

Enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of the heavily labeled and almost totally quenched substrates provided in the EnzChek Assay Kits relieves the intramolecular self-quenching, yielding brightly fluorescent reaction products.
