RESUMO
Multiphoton fluorescence recovery after photobleaching is a well-established microscopy technique used to measure the diffusion of macromolecules in biological systems. We have developed an improved model of the fluorescence recovery that includes the effects of convective flows within a system. We demonstrate the validity of this two-component diffusion-convection model through in vitro experimentation in systems with known diffusion coefficients and known flow speeds, and show that the diffusion-convection model broadens the applicability of the multiphoton fluorescence recovery after photobleaching technique by enabling accurate determination of the diffusion coefficient, even when significant flows are present. Additionally, we find that this model allows for simultaneous measurement of the flow speed in certain regimes. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the diffusion-convection model in vivo by measuring the diffusion coefficient and flow speed within tumor vessels of 4T1 murine mammary adenocarcinomas implanted in the dorsal skinfold chamber.
