  • Descrição: Single-particle tracking (SPT) is a powerful method for exploring single-molecule dynamics in living cells with nanoscale spatiotemporal resolution. Photostability and bright fluorescence make quantum dots (Qdots) a popular choice for SPT. However, their large size could potentially alter the mobility of the molecule of interest. To test this, we labelled B cell receptors on the surface of B-lymphocytes with monovalent Fab fragments of antibodies that were either linked to Qdots via streptavidin or directly conjugated to the small organic fluorophore Cy3. Imaging of receptor mobility by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM), followed by quantitative single-molecule diffusion and confinement analysis, definitively showed that Qdots sterically hinder lateral mobility regardless of the substrate to which the cells were adhered. Qdot labelling also drastically altered the frequency with which receptors transitioned between apparent slow- and fast-moving states and reduced the size of apparent confinement zones. Although we show that Qdot-labelled probes can detect large differences in receptor mobility, they fail to resolve subtle differences in lateral diffusion that are readily detectable using Cy3-labelled Fabs. Our findings highlight the utility and limitations of using Qdots for TIRFM and wide-field-based SPT, and have significant implications for interpreting SPT data.
