Abstract

Tyramine signaling amplification (TSA) technology is generally applied in immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunoassays, in situ hybridization techniques, etc. Successful amplification of fluoresence signals cannot be achieved without excellent fluorescent dyes. BODIPY fluorophore is an ideal probe for cell fluorescence imaging, but pristine BODIPY cannot be direct used in the TSA system. In the paper, the new red-shifted tyramide-conjugated BODIPY (BDP-B/C/D) was synthesized via the Knoevenagel condensation reaction, which based on the tyramide-conjugated BODIPY (BDP-A). The synthesized dyes were combined with tyramine to obtain which could be used as a fluorescent substrate for enzymatic reaction of TSA. By using the selected substrate (BDP-C) in TSA, we found it to be more sensitive than the commercial dye 594 styramide for the detection of low-abundance antigen proteins.
