Research Abstract |
The endocytic pathways has recently been demonstrated in the major cellular uptake of the basic amino acids-rich peptides, including HIV-1 Tat and oligoarginine. But the cellular uptake into the cytosol has not been demonstrated by real time monitoring. In this study, I established the detection system of the peptides into the cytosol using a split Kusabira Green complementation assay. The fluorescence derived from the Kusabira Green could be observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy in whole cell by adding the oligoarginine-Kusabira Green fragment to the cell culture media for 5-8 hours.
