Staining of mitochondrial membranes with 10-nonyl acridine orange MitoFluor Green, and MitoTracker Green is affected by mitochondrial membrane potential altering drugs

Abstract

MFG, MTG, and NAO appeared poor choices for the membrane potential independent analysis of mitochondrial membrane mass. Considering the molecular structure of these probes that favor accumulation in the mitochondrial membrane because of a positive charge, our results are not surprising. Cytometry 39:203-210, 2000.
