Munkonge et al. [411] obtained distances of 20A for the quenching of the fluorescence of NCD-Ca " -ATPase either by doxylstearate (5-NS), or by FITC-labeled phosphatidylethanolamine (FITC-PE) incorporated into the bilayer although the authors concluded that the NCD label was located 20A above the surface of the bilayer, the data actually support the conclusion of Scott [132] placing the NCD = 20A below the surface of the bilayer. The energy transfer distance of... 

HPLC with microchip electrophoresis. Capillary RPLC was used as the first dimension, and chip CE as the second dimension to perform fast sample transfers and separations. A valve-free gating interface was devised simply by inserting the outlet end of LC column into the cross-channel on a specially designed chip. Laser-induced fluorescence was used for detecting the FITC-labeled peptides of a BSA digest. The capillary HPLC effluents were continuously delivered every 20 s to the chip for CE separation.

Recently, we have also prepared nanosized polymersomes through self-assembly of star-shaped PEG-b-PLLA block copolymers (eight-arm PEG-b-PLLA) using a film hydration technique [233]. The polymersomes can encapsulate FITC-labeled Dex, as model of a water-soluble macromolecular (bug, into the hydrophilic interior space. The eight-arm PEG-b-PLLA polymersomes showed relatively high stability compared to that of polymersomes of linear PEG-b-PLLA copolymers with the equal volume fraction. Furthermore, we have developed a novel type of polymersome of amphiphilic polyrotaxane (PRX) composed of PLLA-b-PEG-b-PLLA triblock copolymer and a-cyclodextrin (a-CD) [234]. These polymersomes possess unique structures the surface is covered by PRX structures with multiple a-CDs threaded onto the PEG chain. Since the a-CDs are not covalently bound to the PEG chain, they can slide and rotate along the PEG chain, which forms the outer shell of the polymersomes [235,236]. Thus, the polymersomes could be a novel functional biomedical nanomaterial having a dynamic surface.

Most anionic FITC-labeled fluorochromes microinjected into the cytoplasm are compartmented by the plant cell vacuoles at rates that depend on their molecular size (14,15).

(B) FITC-labeled lectin binding to resin bound mannose could be inhibited by soluble glycopeptides obtained from library screen. Percent inhibition was quantified by recording of lectin fluorescence. Only every second well of the microtiter plate was used and nonfluorescent beads indicated good inhibitors.44...

Fig. 31 (A) Principle of a sandwich immunoassay using FDA particulate labels. The analyte is first immobilized by the capture antibody preadsorbed on the solid phase (a) and then exposed to antibody-coated microparticle labels (b). Every microparticle contains 108 FDA molecules. High signal amplification is achieved after solubilisation, release, and conversion of the precursor FDA into fluorescein molecules by the addition of DMSO and NaOH (c). (B) Calibration curves of IgG-FDA microcrystal labels with increasing surface coverage of detector antibody (a-d) compared with direct FITC-labeled detector antibody (e). The fluorescence signals increase with increasing IgG concentration. FDA microcrystals with a high IgG surface coverage (c,d) perform better than those with lower surface coverage (a,b).

Probes can be differently labeled with hapten labels, for example carboxyfluorescein (6-FAM), digoxigenin (DIG) and biotin can be bound to LNA oligos. The choice of probe label depends on experimental design and the techniques available in the laboratory. The hapten label provides a template for crucial signal amplification since the FITC label on the oligo itself is not sufficient to allow detection in standard epifluorescence. In this study, the fluorescence signal was obtained with the TSA-FITC substrate, which allowed detection of miR-21 and miR-205. 

The dissociation constant (Kd) of a monoclonal antibody with fluorescein isothiocyanate- (FITC)-labeled insulin and unlabeled insulins from several species were measured using CE with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF) (9). Kd determinations were made by separating free FITC-labeled insulin and its complex with the antibody in equilibrated solutions in 6 s or less (Fig. 3). Dissociation and association rates for insulin, FITC-insulin, and the antibody are fast enough to reach equilibria in less... 

In addition Choi et al. utilized FlTC-labeled methamphetamine for competitive immunoassay of methamphetamine in urine (19). Instead of purified antibody or antibody fragment, antiserum was used. An aminobutyl derivative of metamphetamine was conjugated with proteins and used as an immunogen to produce antibodies for the assay. The free FITC-labeled tracer was well separated from the antibody-bound fraction, and the detection limit for the CE assay was lower than that for ELISA.
