A novel profluorescent nitroxide as a sensitive probe for the cellular redox environment
journal contribution

Sensitive quantification of these changes has been developed using a novel fluorescent probe containing a redox-sensitive nitroxide moiety. As well as being able to selectively detect the superoxide radical in vitro, this method can measure overall changes to the cellular redox environment using flow cytometry on the basis of nitroxide reduction. The reversible nature of the probe's detection mechanism offers the unique advantage of being able to monitor redox changes in both oxidizing and reducing directions in real time.
