General description
4,5-Diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2 DA) solution is a membrane-permeable fluorescent probe, which measures nitric oxide (NO) in living cells. It is used to study the synthesis of NO in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs). DAF-2 DA imaging shows that ciliated epithelial cells produces high amount of NO than non-epithelial inflammatory cells.
Application
Cell-permeable fluorescent detector of nitric oxide in living cells.
Legal Information
DAF-2 is manufactured by Daiichi Pure Chemicals Co., LTD.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a regulatory molecule in the vascular system and its inhibition due to endothelial injury contributes to cardiovascular disease. The glycocalyx is a thin layer of glycolipids, glycoproteins, and proteoglycans on the surface of mammalian epithelial cells.
