Application

Fluorescein hyaluronic acid has been used in the fluorescence imaging of hyaluronic acid (HA) and dextran surface coated filmsand patterned surfaces. It has also been used in confocal fluorescence microscopy to localize hyaluronic acid in collagen/HA composite gels .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hyaluronan macromolecules (HAs) coupled to fluorescein amine is exploited to screen the hyaluronidase activity using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) by measuring the quenching of fluorescein-labeled HA fragments. It binds on cell surface of malignant mesothelioma derived from human tumors.
Used to bind on cell surface of malignant mesothelioma derived from human tumors.

In this report we propose a lifetime-based sensing (LBS) for the detection of hyaluronidase (HA-ase). First, we heavily label hyaluronan macromolecules (HAs) with fluorescein amine. The fluorescein labeled HA (HA-Fl) has a weak fluorescence and short fluorescence lifetime due to
