Lysosomes are cellular organelles which contain acid hydrolase enzymes to break up waste materials and cellular debris. Lysosomes digest excess or worn-out organelles, food particles, and engulfed viruses or bacteria. The membrane around a lysosome allows the digestive enzymes to work at pH 4.5. The interior of the lysosomes is acidic (pH 4.5-4.8) compared to the slightly alkaline cytosol (pH 7.2). The lysosome maintains this pH differential by pumping protons from the cytosol across the membrane via proton pumps and chloride ion channels. LysoBrite™ NIR selectively accumulates in lysosomes probably via the lysosome pH gradient. The lysotropic indicator is a hydrophobic compound that easily permeates intact live cells, and trapped in lysosomes after it gets into cells. Its fluorescence is significantly enhanced upon entering lysosomes. This key feature significantly reduces its staining background and makes it useful for a variety of studies, including cell adhesion, chemotaxis, multidrug resistance, cell viability, apoptosis and cytotoxicity. It is suitable for proliferating and non-proliferating cells, and can be used for both suspension and adherent cells. LysoBrite™ dyes significantly outperform the equivalent LysoTracker ™dyes (from Invitrogen). LysoBrite™ dyes can stay in live cells for more than a week with very minimal cell toxicity while the LysoTracker dyes can only be used for a few hours.

LysoBrite Red DND-99 is chemically same to the LysoTracker® Red DND-99 used for labeling and tracking acidic organelles in live cells (LysoTracker® is the trademark of ThermoFisher). It has good selectivity for acidic organelles, and reasonably retaining its staining pattern after aldehyde fixation. The LysoBrite™ probes consist of a fluorophore linked to a weak base that is only partially protonated at neutral pH, allowing them to freely permeate cell membranes to label live cells.
