The self-association of pulmonary surfactant protein SP-C in lipid vesicles was studied using fluorescence energy transfer. Bovine SP-C was labeled with two fluorescent probes, succinimidyl 6-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino]hexanoate and eosin isothiocyanate, on the amino terminus of the protein, producing NBD-SP-C and EITC-SP-C

A solid substrate room temperature phosphorescence immunoassay (SS-RTP-IA) for the determination of human complement3 (C3) based on a sandwich type assay and a labelled avidin-biotin (LAB) type assay was described. The anti-human complement3 and avidin were labeled with eosin5-isothiocyanate. On

In this paper, the medium (pH, organic solvent and surfactant) effects on fluorescence of eosin-5-isothiocyanate (eosin-ITC) have been studied in detail. The results show that the pH and polarity of system studied are two great important influence factors on fluorescence
