ABSTRACT:
A method for synthesizing dyes excitable by a helium-neon laser (excitable at 633 nm) from hololepidines, e.g., 7-halolepidine, which dyes are suitable for detection and enumeration of reticulocytes in human blood samples. In another aspect, the invention provides a method for immunotyping phenocytes. The method is based on the phenomenon that when dyes of certain structure intercalate into DNA or RNA, the intensity of the dye increases. Dyes suitable for this invention can be described as having (a) a first heterocyclic moiety, (b) a second heterocyclic moiety, and (c) a linking group that connects the first and second heterocyclic moieties. Both the first and second heterocyclic moieties must contain at least two rings, preferably fused together. The dye is characterized by conjugation, whereby the first moiety is ethylenically conjugated to the second moiety.
