Turn-on chemiluminescence probes and dual-amplification of signal for detection of amyloid beta species in vivo
Abstract
Detection of amyloid beta deposits is often performed with fluorescent compounds that bind plaques. Here the authors develop turn-on chemiluminescent probes that bind amyloid beta plaques in vivo, and amplify the signal via chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer to the plaque-binding fluorescent molecule CRANAD-3.
