Real-time evaluation of aggregation using confocal imaging and image analysis tools†
Abstract
Real-time confocal imaging was utilised to monitor the in situ loss of BSA monomers and aggregate formation using Spatial Intensity Distribution Analysis (SpIDA) and Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS). At the proof of concept level this work has demonstrated the applicability of RICS and SpIDA for monitoring protein oligomerisation and larger aggregate formation.
