Tracking single cells in live animals using a photoconvertible near-infrared cell membrane label.

Tracking single cells in live animals using a photoconvertible near-infrared cell membrane label.

We describe a novel photoconversion technique to track individual cells in vivo using a commercial lipophilic membrane dye, DiR. We show that DiR exhibits a permanent fluorescence emission shift (photoconversion) after light exposure and does not reacquire the original color over time. Ratiometric i...
