The dyes of the present invention are useful for many purposes that include markers or tags for detecting the presence of a molecule or compound to which they are bound. The dyes may be either red-excitable or blue-excitable. The dyes of the invention are particularly well suited for staining of nucleic acids. For example, these dyes are particularly suitable for staining of RNA in reticulocytes. In another exemplary application, these dyes are suitable for staining DNA in nucleated red blood cells. Typically, when used in staining of nucleic acids, the dyes are formulated into reagent solutions. In addition, the invention provides compositions and methods for facilitating rapid transport of dye molecules through a cell membrane. Such rapid staining requires that a sample be contacted with a dye composition of the invention in the presence of at least one surfactant and optionally, a sulfonic acid or a salt thereof.
本发明的染料可用于许多目的,包括作为标记或标签,用于检测它们所结合的分子或化合物的存在。这些染料可以是红色激发的或蓝色激发的。本发明的染料特别适合用于染色核酸。例如,这些染料特别适合于染色网织红细胞中的RNA。在另一个示例应用中,这些染料适合于染色有核红细胞中的DNA。通常,在染色核酸时,这些染料被制成试剂溶液。此外,本发明提供了促进染料分子快速穿过细胞膜的组合物和方法。这种快速染色需要将样品与本发明的染料组合物接触,并在至少一种表面活性剂和可选的磺酸或其盐的存在下进行。
