Confocal results show (figure 7) that Cy5-PAMAM-PEG-Chol can realize high-quality fluorescence imaging of cell membranes of embryonic epidermis of zebra fish.
Example 16
The long-term imaging effect of Cy5-PAMAM-PEG-Chol prepared in example 7 on zebra fish embryo staining after washing was observed, and the steps were as follows: selecting normally-developed zebra fish eggs to carry out a staining experiment, and when the zebra fish embryos develop to 60hpf, taking 1 embryo to place in the zebra fish culture solution containing 30 microgram/mLCy 5-PAMAM-PEG-Chol for staining for 10 min. And then washing the zebra fish embryo with a phosphate buffer, sucking the embryo which is washed and continuously cultured for 6 hours into a 96-well plate, adding a small amount of MS222 anesthetic to anaesthetize the zebra fish, and finally placing the 96-well plate filled with the zebra fish embryo under a fluorescence confocal microscope for observation. Three-dimensional scanning fluorescence imaging is carried out on the zebra fish embryo by using a confocal microscope, and a three-dimensional zebra fish epidermal cell membrane fluorescence imaging picture is obtained by 3D reconstruction of the picture through software.
The confocal result shows (figure 8) that after Cy5-PAMAM-PEG-Chol staining, washing with phosphate buffer solution and continuing culturing for 6 hours, the cell membrane imaging effect of the zebra fish epidermal cells is still good, which indicates that the imaging reagent has stable imaging capability of the living zebra fish epidermal cells.
