Multiscale photoacoustic tomography of a genetically encoded near-infrared FRET biosensor

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

Photoacoustic tomography with genetically encoded near-infrared probes enables visualization of specific cell populations in vivo at high resolution in deep tissues. Here, we report a near-infrared Forster resonance energy transfer biosensor based on a pair of the near-infrared fluorescent proteins, miRFP670-iRFP720, which enables dynamic photoacoustic imaging of active biological processes. Specifically, we detected apoptosis in single cells at a resolution of 3m in a mouse ear and mouse brain tumors (>3 mm in depth) at a spatial resolution of 150m. These results open the way for high-resolution photoacoustic imaging of dynamic biological processes in deep tissues.
