Application
This kit is for general cell membrane labeling. PKH67 has a longer aliphatic carbon tail than PKH1 and PKH2, two other green dyes previously described for in vitro and in vivo cell tracking. Based on the longer tail length, in-house studies have consistently shown reduced cell-cell transfer for PKH67 as compared to PKH2.
Slow loss of fluorescence has been observed in in vivo studies using PKH1 and PKH2. PKH67 may exhibit similar properties since this behavior appears to be characteristic of green cell linker dyes, but not red cell linker dyes. Correlation of in vitro cell membrane retention with in vivo fluorescence half life in non-dividing cells predicts an in vivo fluorescence half life of 10-12 days for PKH67. Other green cell linker dyes with similar half lives have been used to monitor in vivo lymphocyte and macrophage trafficking over periods of 1-2 months, suggesting that PKH67 will also be useful for in vivo tracking studies of moderate length.

PKH67 Green Fluorescent Cell Linker Kit for General Cell Membrane Labeling has been used:
- To label and further investigate the exosomes expelled from cells in triple-negative breast cancer condition.
- To label apoptotic cells, in order to study the role of ανβ5 receptor in both binding and internalization of apoptotic cells.
- In fluorescence imaging.[1]

Lipophilic cell tracking dyes enable cancer biologists to track tumor and immune cell functions both in vitro and in vivo. Read the article to choose a right membrane dye kit for cell tracking and proliferation monitoring.
PKH and CellVue® Fluorescent Cell Linker Kits provide fluorescent labeling of live cells over an extended period of time, with no apparent toxic effects.
PKH dyes are easy to use and achieve stable, uniform, and reproducible fluorescent labeling of live cells. PKH dyes are non-toxic membrane stains which produce high signal to noise ratio.

I mark mitochondria for injection with PKH26 Red Fluorescent Cell Linker Kit for General Cell Membrane Labeling. I want to use another dye to mark another type of mitochondria and inject them together in the same fish egg. Is PKH67 ok for this like PKH26?

What can be the alternative for removing excess dye after labeling of exosomes using PKH67 dye apart from ultracentrifugation?
1 answer-
Excess dye is bound to serum or albumin which is added to the cell/dye mixture as a stop reaction. The recommended clean up or dye removal is by standard centrifugation (400 x g for 10 minutes, wash, and repeat). See the Product Information Sheet, page 3, bullet point 8 for more information:
https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/product/documents/984/984/pkh67glbul.pdfAlternate methods for excess dye removal have not been investigated.

Can we remove the excess PKH67 DYE used for the labeling of exosomes using exosome spin column rather than ultracentrifugation.
1 answer-
The recommended exosome labeling protocol has been optimized to assure the best possible results. The use of exosome spin columns with the PKH and CellVue products has not been validated. See below for a link to our exosome labeling protocol. A spin column method may not offer the best results.

What method of fixation can be used for tissue/cells with the PKH Fluorescent Cell Linker Kit for General Cell Membrane Labeling dyes?
1 answer-
A protocol for visualization of tissue sections can be found in the technical bulletin. For visualization of stained cells by immunofluorescence or flow cytometry, the cells can be fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes. The use of other organic solvents will extract the dye from the cells. If internal labeling is desired, the cells can be permeabilized with saponin (50-75 μg/mL). Here is the link to the Troubleshooting Guide.

Does the dye leak from the cells after labeling when using Product PKH67GL, PKH67 Green Fluorescent Cell Linker Kit for General Cell Membrane Labeling?
1 answer-
In general, slow loss of fluorescence has been observed with PKH1 and PKH2 in in vivo studies and it is likely that PKH67 may also slowly lose fluorescence. Leakage (or loss of staining intensity) may also occur due to cell-to-cell transfer of the dye. The most common cause of cell-to-cell dye transfer is inadequate washing of the cells. Wash cells 3-5 times after labeling and transfer samples to new tubes between washes.

When using Product PKH67GL, PKH67 Green Fluorescent Cell Linker Kit for General Cell Membrane Labeling, how long will the cells remain stained after treatment?
1 answer-
Labeled cells that have been washed can be visualized in culture up to 100 days after staining (for non-dividing cells). The dye itself is stable and will divide equally when the cells divide. After staining with PKH dyes, you can observe as many as 8 divisions depending on how brightly the cells were stained initially and the amount of surface area on the cells. Most commonly, 4-6 divisions can be visualized.
