General description

5-Maleimido-eosin, also known as EMA or Eosin-5-maleimide, is a fluorescent binding agent. The 5-Maleimido-eosin binding test measures the EMA-labeled cells reduced mean channel fluorescence (MCF) reading.

Application

Eosin-5-maleimide has been used as a fluorescent probe for the human erythrocyte band 3 protein. It is widely used as a diagnostic probe for the laboratory detection of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) by flow cytometry. The eosin-5-maleimide binding test was done to analyze the effect of alectinib (first line of treatment) for anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK).

Other Notes

Triplet probe. Measurement of rotational diffusion of protein in solution and in membranes, including myosin and pyruvate dehydrogenase

We studied the rotational Brownian motions of myosin heads, of which the sulfhydryl group was selectively labeled with the triplet probe 5-eosinylmaleimide, in myofibril by using flash-induced phosphorescence anisotropy decay measurements. The anisotropy decay curve under relaxing conditions consisted of

We studied 31 children with hemolytic anemia, or with positive family history for hereditary spherocytosis (HS), to assess the reliability of capillary blood samples for the diagnosis. HS was diagnosed in 20 patients. Cryohemolysis (CH) was positive in 94% and
Delay in the measurement of eosin-5'-maleimide (EMA) binding does not affect the test result for the diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis.

The laboratory diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis commonly relies on NaCl-based or glycerol-based red cell osmotic fragility tests; more recently, an assay directly targeting the hereditary spherocytosis molecular defect (eosin-5'-maleimide-binding test) has been proposed. None of the available tests identifies all

The enzymatically reduced lipoyl residues of the transacetylase component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from Escherichia coli were labeled with eosin maleimide. Using eosin as triplet probe, triplet-triplet absorption dichroism measurements were performed to obtain rotational correlation times of the
