AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies make it difficult to monitor the phenotypes of M1 and M2 macrophages in real time and dynamically in living cells, and traditional methods are cumbersome and time-consuming, making them unsuitable for in vivo imaging diagnosis.
A dual-channel fluorescence sensor was designed, which utilizes gold nanoparticles assembled with fluorescent compounds A and B. The fluorescence signal is switched on and off via NO and Arg-1 reaction to detect M1 and M2 macrophages respectively. The fluorescence sensor achieves rapid quantitative performance through targeted response.
It achieves high specificity and high contrast for real-time synchronous differentiation of M1 and M2 macrophage phenotypes, and can dynamically monitor macrophage phenotypes in solution, cells and ex vivo lesions, supporting early disease detection and efficacy evaluation.
