Tetanus Toxin Fragment C based imaging agents and methods, and confocal microscopy dataset processes

摘要

Methods for purifying Tetanus Toxin Fragment C comprising obtaining a supernatant comprising soluble Tetanus Toxin Fragment C and purifying Tetanus Toxin Fragment C under native conditions to obtain a substantially purified Tetanus Toxin Fragment C. Imaging agents comprising a Tetanus Toxin Fragment C and a reporter, and methods thereof. Methods comprising processing confocal microscopy datasets to provide a 360 degree average fluorescence intensity profile from the center of a spheroid towards the outer edge of the spheroid.
