The chemotactic peptide formylmethionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP), at concentrations below 10(-9) M, elicits a sustained increase in the human neutrophil's membrane potential within 10 s of its addition. This hyperpolarization, detected with the fluorescent cationic potentiometric probes, 3,3'-dipentyloxacarbocyanine (diO-C5-(3)), and 1,1'-dipropyl-3,3,3',3'-tetramethylindocarbocyanine iodide

Certain fluorescent dyes, previously reported to localize mitochondria, when used at higher concentrations also localize a continuous net-like structure in both living and glutaraldehyde-fixed cells. A similar reticular structure can be detected by phase-contrast microscopy and whole-mount electron microscopy in

The measurement of time correlated intracellular mitochondrial staining with 3,3'-dipentyloxacarbocyanine [Di-O-C5(3)] appeared of interest to define the optimal staining conditions. Mitochondrial staining of lymphocytes, monocytes and granulocytes results in different fluorescence signals, related to the numbers of mitochondria, that are

A flow cytofluorometric susceptibility test (FCST) was used for rapid determination of the susceptibility of Candida lusitaniae isolates to amphotericin B. The test is based on the decrease in fluorescence intensity of cells stained with 3,3'-dipentyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC5(3)), a membrane

Perfluorinated (aliphatic) acids (PFAs) and congeners have many applications in various industrial fields and household for decades. Years later they have been detected in wildlife and this has spurred interest in environmental occurrence as well as influencing living organisms. PFAs
