Bioactivity | Texas Red (Sulforhodamine 101) is an amphoteric rhodamine red fluorescent dye (excitation/emission: 586/605 nm). Texas Red is used extensively for investigating neuronal morphology and acts as a?cell type-selective fluorescent marker of astrocytes both?in vivo?and in slice preparations[1]. Storage: protect from light. |
Invitro | Texas Red (Sulforhodamine 101) does not label astrocytes in brainstem slices as strong and specific as in the hippocampus or cortex. To minimize excitatory side effects, the concentration of Texas Red has to be kept as low as possible or the labeling procedure can be performed after the actual experiment[1]. |
In Vivo | In vivo, epileptic activity can be induced by intra-hippocampal injection of small volumes of 10 μM Texas Red or topical application of 100 μM[1]. |
