Ultrasensitive ratiometric fluorescent pH probes based on dual dye-labeled pH-responsive diblock copolymer micellar scaffold are constructed. The pH-sensitive emitting nature of BTPE dyes and emission turn-on of CMA moieties triggered by pH-actuated micelle-to-unimer of diblock scaffold synergistically contribute to the observed ≈250-fold changes of BTPE/CMA emission intensity ratios in the whole pH range. Two-photon ratiometric fluorescent pH mapping of intracellular gradients subjected by pH-responsive micellar nanoparticles in their endocytic pathway has been thus achieved.
基于双染料标记的 pH 响应两亲嵌段共聚物胶束支架构建了超灵敏比率荧光 pH 探针。BTPE 染料的 pH 敏感发射特性和 CMA 部分在 pH 驱动的胶束-齐聚物构象转变协同作用下,使共聚物支架的荧光强度比在整个 pH 范围内发生了约 250 倍的变化。因此,实现了在其内吞途径中 pH 响应胶束纳米粒子的细胞内梯度的双光子比率荧光 pH 成像。
