NanoPlex: a universal strategy for fluorescence microscopy multiplexing using nanobodies with erasable signals

N. Mougios, E. R. Cotroneo, et al.

Experience a breakthrough in fluorescence microscopy with NanoPlex, a method developed by Nikolaos Mougios and colleagues. This innovative approach utilizes engineered nanobodies for selective signal removal, enabling unprecedented analysis of multiple targets in 3D confocal and super-resolution imaging.

Abstract
This paper introduces NanoPlex, a streamlined method for fluorescence microscopy multiplexing using engineered secondary nanobodies that allow the selective removal of fluorescence signals. Three complementary signal removal strategies are developed: OptoPlex (light-induced), EnzyPlex (enzymatic), and ChemiPlex (chemical). NanoPlex achieves 21 targets for 3D confocal analysis and 5–8 targets for super-resolution imaging (dSTORM and STED), offering a potential revolution in multi-target fluorescent imaging.
