Application

Fluorescein hyaluronic acid has been used in the fluorescence imaging of hyaluronic acid (HA) and dextran surface coated filmsand patterned surfaces. It has also been used in confocal fluorescence microscopy to localize hyaluronic acid in collagen/HA composite gels .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hyaluronan macromolecules (HAs) coupled to fluorescein amine is exploited to screen the hyaluronidase activity using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) by measuring the quenching of fluorescein-labeled HA fragments. It binds on cell surface of malignant mesothelioma derived from human tumors.
Used to bind on cell surface of malignant mesothelioma derived from human tumors.

Hyaluronan-binding sites were demonstrated on the cell surface of three malignant mesothelioma cell lines derived from human tumors using either [3H]hyaluronan or fluorescein-tagged hyaluronan. No hyaluronan-binding activity was observed on normal human mesothelial cells. The absence of hyaluronan receptors on
