Abstract

The invention discloses a fluorescence control method for red fluorescence protein (DsRed)-labeled biological tissue. The fluorescence control method comprises the steps that fluorescent protein of the red fluorescence protein-labeled biological tissue is quenched by adopting a quenching chemical reagent containing transition metal ions to obtain the fluorescence-quenched biological tissue; fluorescence of the fluorescence-quenched biological tissue is reactivated by adopting a reactivation chemical reagent containing a metal ion chelating agent. According to the method, the fluorescence protein of the red fluorescence protein-labeled biological tissue is quenched by means of a synergistic effect of transition metal ions and hydrogen ions, the fluorescence of the fluorescence-quenched biological tissue is reactivated by means of a synergistic effect of the metal ion chelating agent and hydroxyl ions, precise control over the fluorescence of the DsRed-labeled biological tissue is achieved, quenching is thorough and complete, activation is convenient, the effect is good, and the contrast ratio is high; the method can be applied to biological tissue tomography, fluorescence quenching is complete, and the background fluorescence interference problem is not generated in tomography.
