General description

4,5-Diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2 DA) solution is a membrane-permeable fluorescent probe, which measures nitric oxide (NO) in living cells. It is used to study the synthesis of NO in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). DAF-2 DA imaging shows that ciliated epithelial cells produces high amount of NO than non-epithelial inflammatory cells.

Application

Cell-permeable fluorescent detector of nitric oxide in living cells.

Olfaction, a chemosensory modality, plays a pivotal role in the orientation and behavior of invertebrates. The central olfactory processing unit in terrestrial stylomatophoran snails is the procerebrum, which contains NO synthesizing interneurons, whose oscillatory currents are believed to be the
