BODIPY TR Cadaverine, a cadaverine derivative, is a red fluorescent dye. BODIPY TR Cadaverine can be used in a a highly sensitive and robust fluorescent displacement assay, which binds to native LPS strongly, specifically recognizing lipid A, and is competitively displaced by compounds displaying an affinity for lipid A[1][2].
BODIPY TR Cadaverine assay[1] (to quantify autophagy in cells):
Cells were incubated with 125 nM BODIPY TR Cadaverine for 10 minutes, washed four times with PBS and lysed in 10 mM Tris-Cl pH 8, 0.1 % Triton X-100. Fluorescence levels were read in a SPECTRAmax fluorimeter (Molecular Devices) (λex=588 nm, λem=616 nm). Fluorescence levels were normalized for cell number by adding 0.2 mM ethidium bromide and reading DNA fluorescence (λex=530 nm, λem=590 nm)[1].
