DAPI和Hoechst 染料非常相似,该如何选用?

DAPI是一种非常普通的蓝色核复染荧光染料,能对固定和通透的细胞和组织的细胞核进行非常明亮的标记。遗憾的是,人们普遍认为它是介于半通透性到非通透性之间的染色剂,对活细胞的染色效果也不一致。Hoechst 33342染料是细胞通透性染料,与DAPI染色有相似的染色结合机制和荧光颜色;它是活细胞成像的首选,且对固定细胞的标记效果和DAPI一样好。

DAPI and Hoechst dyes are quite similar to each other. Why would I choose one over the other?

DAPI is a very common blue-fluorescent dye for nuclear counterstaining and gives very bright labeling on nuclei in fixed and permeabilized cells and tissues. However, it is considered to be a semi-permeant to impermeant stain and provides inconsistent staining of live cells. Hoechst 33342 dye is cell-permeant and stains with the same binding mechanism and fluorescent color; it is preferred for live-cell imaging and is just as good as DAPI for fixed cell labeling.
