Lucifer Dyes as Biological Tracers : A Review

  • Chapter
Cellular and Molecular Control of Direct Cell Interactions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 99))

Abstract

Lucifer dyes are sulfonated 4-aminonaphthalimides. Most have a strong yellow fluorescence in agueous solution. This and other properties make them useful as biological tracers. We briefly review here the synthesis of some Lucifer dyes, as well as their chemical and biological properties. Some points we present here have been discussed in detail elsewhere (1–3).
