CDb8 [Catalog # P008]

■ Chemical structure & Information
CDb8 (Compound of Designation blue 8) is a xanthone based blue fluorescent probe for mouse embryonic stem cell (mES). CDb8 stains the outside of mES colony, i.e. glycocalyx area [1]. Glycocalyx is enriched with glycoproteins and glycolipids. The co-staining with related ES probes showed that CDy1 stains inside ES colony, and CDg4 and CDb8 stains the surface of ES colony [2]. Based on the imaging data, the binding target of CDb8 may be glycogen in glycocalyx.
