Research Abstract |
We demonstrated an application of fluorescent aptamer for molecular sensing of extracellular chemical transmitters dynamics on cell surface. We developed a fluorescent aptamer sensor that could be immobilized on cell surface for the analysis of extracellular events. Our approach enabled an easy and efficient immobilization of the fluorescent adenine nucleotide(Ade) aptamer on cell surface, and realized the fluorescence visualization of Ade efflux from living cell.
