Fluorescent Dye

Preparation of 5(6)-CFDA Working Solution
1. Preparation of Stock Solution
Dissolve 1 mg of 5(6)-CFDA in 0.21 mL of DMSO to obtain a 10 mM 5(6)-CFDA solution.
Note: It is recommended to store the stock solution protected from light at -20°C or -80°C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
2. 5(6)-CFDA Working Solution
Dilute the stock solution with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to prepare a 1-10 μM 5(6)-CFDA working solution.
Note: Adjust the concentration of the 5(6)-CFDA working solution according to experimental requirements.

Cell Staining
1. Cell Preparation:
• Suspension cells: Centrifuge at 1000 g for 3-5 minutes at 4°C, then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
• Adherent cells: Discard the cell culture medium, dissociate cells with trypsin to form a single-cell suspension. Centrifuge at 1000 g for 3-5 minutes at 4°C, then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2. Add 1 mL of 5(6)-CFDA working solution and incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
3. Centrifuge at 400 g for 3-4 minutes at 4°C and discard the supernatant.
4. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
5. Resuspend the cells in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS, then analyze by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.

Precautions
1. The stock solution should be stored protected from light at -20°C or -80°C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
2. Adjust the concentration of the 5(6)-CFDA working solution according to experimental requirements.
3. This product is intended for research use only and is not for drug, household, or other applications.
4. For your safety and health, wear a lab coat and disposable gloves during operation.

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) are believed to be involved in aneurysmal repair and remodeling. The aim of this study was to test this hypothesis and, if true, explore how EPC contribute to aneurysm repair in a rabbit model of elastase-induced carotid aneurysm. Rabbits were divided randomly into an in situ carotid EPC transfusion group (ISCT group, n=5), and an intravenous EPC transfusion group (IVT group, n=5). Autologous EPC were double-labeled with Hoechst 33342 and 5,6-carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester before injection into the animals in either the carotid artery (ISCT group) or marginal ear veins (IVT group). Three weeks later, labeled cells in the aneurysms were observed with respect to location, adhesion, and growth to detect signs of aneurysm repair. Labeled EPC were detected within the neointima in all five aneurysms in the ISCT group and in three of the five aneurysms in the IVT group, but there was no endothelial growth in the aneurysmal neointima in either group. These results show that bone marrow-derived EPC are involved in the process of aneurysm repair in this rabbit model. [1]

Fluorescent dyes were assessed for their ability to stain viable hyphae of the fungi Neotyphodium lolii and N. coenophialum, symbiotic endophytes of the Pooideae grasses Lolium perenne and Festuca arundinacea, respectively. The fluorescein-based fluorophores; fluorescein diacetate (FDA), 5(6)-carboxy-fluorescein diacetate (CFDA), 5-chloromethylfluorescein diacetate (CMFDA) and the chitin-binding stain, Calcofluor while M2R, were assessed for staining of endophyte hyphae in vitro from axenic fungal cultures and in planta, including epidermal leaf sheath peels, nodes, ovaries, embryos and meristems. CMFDA produced the greatest intensity of staining of fungal hyphae and gave excellent contrast in planta compared to the plant cells. Compared to the other dyes, CMFDA was also the least affected by photo bleaching and continued to fluoresce up to 2 h after initial excitation. None of the fluorescent dyes stained fungal hyphae in seed. [2]
