General description

Sulforhodamine 101 is a red fluorescent dye. It is water-soluble, amphoteric rhodamine.

Application

Sulforhodamine 101 has been used:
  • to label astrocytes
  • in quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
  • to determine the degree of disintegration in tissue sample

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sulforhodamine 101 can be specifically used as a marker of astroglia in the neocortex. It is commonly used for brain imaging. Studies suggest that sulforhodamine 101 may be used as an epileptogenic agent.

Osteocytes are the most abundant cell in the bone, and have multiple functions including mechanosensing and regulation of bone remodeling activities. Since osteocytes are embedded in the bone matrix, their inaccessibility makes in vivo studies problematic. Therefore, a non-invasive technique

It is unclear how the complex spatiotemporal organization of ongoing cortical neuronal activity recorded in anesthetized animals relates to the awake animal. We therefore used two-photon population calcium imaging in awake and subsequently anesthetized rats to follow action potential firing

Fluorescent staining of astrocytes without damaging or interfering with normal brain functions is essential for intravital microscopy studies. Current methods involved either transgenic mice or local intracerebral injection of sulforhodamine 101. Transgenic rat models rarely exist, and in mice, a
