A two-photon europium complex as specific endoplasmic reticulum probe

J Biophotonics. 2009 Dec;2(12):718-24. doi: 10.1002/jbio.200910052.

Abstract

Highly emissive europium complexes with specific endoplasmic reticulum localization potential includes several advantages such as fast uptake, long resident lifetime, low dosage requirement, low cytotoxicity and highly emissive two-photon induced f-f emission imaging.
