A fluorescent probe for detection of an intracellular prognostic indicator in early-stage cancer†
Abstract
Cyclin A2 is a promising cancer prognostic indicator, but its intracellular in situ imaging is still a challenging task. This work designs an “off–on” fluorescent probe, which can fluorescently detect intracellular cyclin A2 and distinguish cancer cells. In addition, this work sheds light on the development of future protein biosensors.
