Dil

Dil is a fluorescent neuronal tracer that labels cell bodies, axons, dendrites, and dendritic spines. It has been used as an anterograde tracer to study neuronal development in vivo and as a retrograde tracer to label hippocampal neuronal connections in fixed postmortem brain tissue. Dil has also been used as a long-term plasma membrane label in live cells. It displays excitation/emission maxima of 549/565 nm, respectively.Formal Name: 2-[3-(1,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-1-octadecyl-2H-indol-2-ylidene)-1-propen-1-yl]-3,3-dimethyl-1-octadecyl-3H-indolium, monoperchlorate.
