    Abstract: The present subject matter relates to a one-step method of detecting and quantifying cardiolipin in a sample using a positively charged AIE luminogen by introducing the AIE luminogen to a solution containing the sample and measuring fluorescence intensity of the solution; a method of quantifying isolated mitochondria using a positively charged AIE luminogen by staining a sample containing isolated mitochondria with the AIE luminogen and measuring the fluorescence intensity; and a method of quantifying isolated mitochondria using a positively charged AIE luminogen by introducing the AIE luminogen to a sample containing isolated mitochondria, wherein the AIE luminogen stains the isolated mitochondria and identifying the stained isolated mitochondria under microscope. With improved sensitivity and excellent selectivity to CL over other major mitochondrial membrane lipids, an aggregation-induced emission-active fluorogen, TTAPE-Me, may serve as a valuable fluorescent sensor for CL detection and quantification and the quantification of isolated mitochondria.

    Abstract: Fluorescent bioprobes comprising luminogen formed nanoparticles comprising luminogens with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, which can be used for long-term cell tracking. The luminogens are nonemissive in organic solution but become highly emissive when aggregated in aqueous solution. The fluorescent molecules can readily pass through cell membranes, stain only the cell cytoplasm, and form highly emissive nanoaggregates in aqueous media without any obvious cytoxicity in the living cells. Furthermore, the molecules can be retained inside the cells without noticeable leakage to the outside. Therefore, these AIE-based compounds can be used as selective and cell-compatible fluroescent bioprobes for long-term live cell tracking and imaging.

    Abstract: The present subject matter is directed to a luminogen exhibiting aggregation induced emission, wherein T1, T2, and T3 comprise one or more polyynes as a conjugated bridge. The present subject matter is also directed to an AIEgen comprising a hydrophilic pyridium group as a strong electron-withdrawing group; a piperazine group as an electron-donating group; and a α-Cyanostilbene; wherein the AIEgen exhibits aggregation induced emission. The present subject matter is directed to a method of synthesizing an AIEgen and is further directed to a method of labeling comprising incubating a subject having cells with a conjugate formed by conjugating an AIEgen with an antibody; and selectively labeling desired cells by turn-on imaging, wherein labeling occurs when the desired cells are selectively stained by fluorescent emission of the AIEgen upon degradation of the antibody after cellular internalization of the conjugate through endocytosis.
