摘要：Highly fluorescent latex microspheres have a diameter of less than five hundredangstroms and have more than five thousand fluorescent markers per sphere. Themicrospheres are prepared by reacting an acrylic latex bead with a diamine and afluorescent amine at elevated pH to attach a spacer arm and a marker, respectively, tothe bead by transacylation of ester terminations on the surface of the bead. A proteinsuch as avidin or an immunoglobulin may then be conjugated to the spacer arm. A singlefluorescent microsphere is visible using standard fluorescent microscopy. Therefore themicrospheres may be utilitzed not only to visualize cell surface antigens but also DNAencoding for single genes, by means of a biotinylated DNA probe.
