ABSTRACT
Light-emitting diode (LED) fluorescence microscopy offers potential benefits in the diagnosis of human African trypanosomiasis and in other aspects of diseases management, such as detection of drug-resistant strains. To advance such approaches, reliable and specific fluorescent markers to stain parasites in human fluids are needed. Here we describe a series of novel green fluorescent diamidines and their suitability as probes with which to stain trypanosomes.
摘要
发光二极管(LED)荧光显微镜为诊断人类非洲锥虫病和疾病管理的其他方面(如检测耐药菌株)提供了潜在的益处。要推进这些方法,需要可靠而特异的荧光标记物来染色人体液中的寄生虫。在此,我们介绍了一系列新型绿色荧光二脒及其作为探针对锥虫进行染色的适用性。
