DAX-J2™ IR

DAX-J2™ IR is a new nitric oxide (NO) sensor recently developed by AAT Bioquest. It is a water-soluble fluorogenic reagent that can measure free NO and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in in vivo under physiological conditions. The blocking groups on the DAX-J2 reagent are released to generate the highly fluorescent product upon NO oxidation. DAX-J2 fluorescent product can be detected using the filter set of Cy7® and ICG. DAX-J2 IR has distinct advantages for NO detection than the popular DAF-2 NO probe: 1). It does not require esterase activity for NO detection. DAF-2 requires intracellular esterases to cleave its acetate groups for detecting NO activity. This esterase dependence often complicates the NO detection since esterse activities are affected by cell health and many other factors. 2). DAX-2 product exhibits pH-independent fluorescence while DAF-2 has its fluorescence highly affected by pH. 3). It is more sensitive for detecting NO than DAF-2. 4). It can be used for in vivo imaging of NO.

Fluorescence response of DAX-J2<sup>TM</sup> IR (1 uM) to different reactive oxygen species (1 mM) in PBS buffer (pH 7.2). The fluorescence intensities were measured with Ex/Em = 700/780 nm.
