Abstract
Human neutrophils are the most abundant leukocytes and have been considered as the first line of defence in the innate immune system. Selective imaging of live neutrophils will facilitate in situ study of neutrophils in infection or inflammation event as well as clinical diagnosis. However, the small-molecule-based probe is absent for the discrimination of live neutrophils among different granulocytes in human blood. Herein, we report the first fluorescent probe NeutropG for the specific distinction and imaging of active neutrophils. The selective staining mechanism of NeutropG is elucidated as Metabolism-Oriented Live-cell Distinction (MOLD) through lipid droplet biogenesis with the help of ACSL and DGAT. Finally, NeutropG is applied to accurately quantify neutrophil levels in fresh blood samples by showing a high correlation with the current clinical method.
