ALPHA-CELL SELECTIVE PROBE FOR EX-VIVO TWO PHOTON IMAGING OF ALPHA CELLS IN INTACT PANCREATIC ISLETS

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition represented by structural formula (A) [Formula should be entered here] or a salt thereof, as well as a method of visualizing a target cell, the method including (a) contacting a population of the target cell with the composition to form an incubation media, (b) incubating the incubation media for a period of time sufficient to stain the target cells, and (c) visualizing the stained target cells with two-photon microscopy to visualize the target cell.
