We have developed three types of exosomal membrane binding fluorescent probes, Mem Dye-Green, Mem Dye-Red and Mem Dye-Deep Red, to monitor exosome uptake into cells. The dyes contain a cyanine group as a fluorescent scaffold, which allows for highly sensitive fluorescence imaging of the exosome. These dyes can also be used to observe the dynamics of exosomes in live cells. The use of PKH dyes (Figure 1), which are currently the most...
