Confocal image of a Leishmania donovani promastigote labeled with PKH26 to visualize the surface membrane and flagellar reservoir (red) and expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) in an endosomal compartment (green). The highly labeled flagellar reservoir at the base of the flagellum is a three dimensional structure comprised solely of cell membrane and is the site of endocytosis and exocytosis in these parasitic protozoans.

| Application: | PKH26 Red Fluorescent Cell Linker Kit is for general cell membrane labeling. It has been characterized in a number of model systems and has been found to be useful for in vitro cell labeling, in vitro proliferation studies and long term, in vivo cell tracking. The half-life for elution of PKH26 from labeled rabbit red blood cells is greater than 100 days. This enhanced stability is favorable for long term in vivo studies. |
