Nancy Albritton, UNC, Chemistry

Fluorescent substrates,

detection limits, 10^-21 moles

Sphigosine-FAM
Bodipy-PIP2,C4
Kinase/Protease substrates

Fast single-cell analyses

Microfluidic device, lyse cells by laser.

Sphigosine kinase:  Single breast cancer cells, Red blood cells

Subpopulations of clinic samples can be detected. Heterogeneity in cancer cells were emphasized. 

Fluorescent PIP2 reporter libraries.
FAM-PIP2
metabolism of PI3K
PIP2 --(PI3K) --> PIP3 ---(PTEN)-->PIP2 ... ...

Challenges: standardization between samples. Problems of cells lines.
