Use of Fluorescent Derivatives for Labeling Cells; Diagnosing, Preventing, and Correcting Genetic Diseases; Photosynthesizing and Killing of Tumors, Parasites, and Viruses

Our laboratory has been involved in enzymatic and cell-biological studies using fluorescent derivatives since the late 1970’s. Although a few of the fluorescent compounds were purchased, most were novel derivatives synthesized by us.
