Cellular internalization mechanism of novel Raman probes designed for plant cells.

ABSTRACT: Diphenylacetylene derivatives containing different polymeric components, poly(l-lysine) (pLys) or tetra(ethylene glycol) (TEG) were designed as novel Raman imaging probes with high Raman sensitivity and low cytotoxicity in living plant cells. The pLys-conjugated probe is internalized via an endocytosis-dependent pathway, whereas TEG-conjugated probe most likely induces direct penetration into the plant cells.
