Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

photoactivatable photoconvertible photoswitchable Cranfill et al (2016) published an experimental direct comparison of
several popular fluorescent proteins with literature comparisons NTnC GECI (genetically engineered Ca++ ion indicator)
is used as an example of a small state of the art fluorescent protein biosensor also shown is Ca++ ion insensitive double
mutant control (Barykina et al 2016) NTnC is an inverse signal (No Ca++ bright Ca++ saturated ~50 brightness) FP
biosensor ndash the paper shows simultaneous use with R-GECO (red fluorescence dark to bright) FP biosensor ndash these
could be used together to enhance ratiometric response Subcellular localization ex to cytoplasmic side of plasma
membrane could be used to further improve signal-to-noise ratio and provide compartment specific data The NTnC
Ca++ insensitive double mutant and mCherry (R-GECOrsquos parent Zhao et al 2011) could be simultaneously localized and
concentrated to the nucleolus Golgi body or other lsquoout of the wayrsquo compartment PubMed

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355

cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates

Antibody streptavidin tetramerspentamersdextramers and other macromolecular labeling have ldquodegree of labelingrsquo
(doL) issues As a simplistic rule of thumb one fluorophore can be conjugated to the surface of a protein for every 25000
dalton molecular weight An IgG molecule is ~155000 dalton so ~6 fluorophores can be conjugated without too much
quenching or causing the protein to crash out of solution With random labeling of lysines such as isothiocyantate
chemistry (FITC TRITC) there is a risk of the reactive dye making a covalent bond in an Fab binding site which would
occlude binding to the target antigen epitope If both Fabs were occluded this dye-IgG would not bind antigenic epitope at
all but could bind non-specifically increasing background If there are 50 reactive lysines on the surface of an IgG
molecule and degree of labeling is 6 (+- some variability) the population of antibody molecules applied to a specimen is
going to be very heterogeneous a small reaction may not have any identical antibody molecules DoL of different batches
of antibodies are unlikely to be identical Isotype controls whether a mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody (defined specificity
different than your interest) or polyclonal affinity purified from sera are at best imperfect controls Immunoglobulins also
vary in glycosylation disulfide bonding and single nucleotide polymorphisms ndash including some that result in amino acid
substitutions that affect Fc Receptor binding affinity A recent (2015) trend has been for vendors ex Miltenyi Biotec
REAfinity to use the same ldquobackbonersquo for their entire product line antibodies

QD data from Quantum Dot Corp (acquired by Molecular Probes Thermo Fisher) eVolve 605 and eVolve 655 are Cd
containing quantum dots from Affymetrix eBiosciences (acquired by Thermo Fisher) Bacteriochlorins (BCrsquos) have small
Stokes shifts (Emission maximum ndash Excitation maximum) They have almost as large extinction coefficients in the
ultraviolet 350-390 nm range so for practical use have a huge practical Stokes shifts on the order of 400 nm (they also
have an additional excitation peak in the 480-550 nm range Taniguchi et al (2008) include a graph comparing the full
width half maxima (FWHM) emission spectra of Cyanine dyes (~50 nm) near infrared quantum dots (66 nm QD705 74
nm QD800) BCrsquos (~20 nm) and lsquoexpandedrsquo porphyrins (gt120 nm) We suggest with the right excitation light sources (355
nm laser or ~360 and ~390 nm LEDs) and emission separation (filter wheel one camera cascading filters to multiple
cameras or PMTs) that four or more BCrsquos could be 700-800 nm emission range If a palette of five BCrsquos could be closely
conjugated to Brilliant Blue BB515 excitation peak 488 nm extremely efficient energy transfer in the visible absorption
peaks (~500-550 nm) could enable extreme multiplexing Additional multiplexing may be gained by 355 nm excitation of
BUV395 to five BCrsquos Our thanks to Dr Bruce Pitner NIRvana Sciences for discussions extinction coefficient estimates
