Abstract

A red fluorescent dye of the oxonol class, bis-[1-(carboxymethyl)barbituric acid-(5)]-pentamethinoxonol, has been synthesized and, in the form of the succinimidyl active ester, has been applied to antibody labeling for application to flow cytometry and to imaging of tissue sections. The new dye, named CMOX (for carboxymethyloxonol), shows maximum excitation at 583 nm and emission at 611 nm, with a quantum yield of 0.2 in aqueous buffer and methanol. Antibodies labeled with the new dye show favorable brightness, photostability, and low levels of nonspecific binding.
