Abstract
A quantitative analysis by confocal fluorescence microscopy of the entry into HEK293 and MCF‐7 cells by fluorescein‐labeled octaarginine (1) and by three octa‐Adp derivatives (2 – 4, octamers of the β‐Asp‐Arg‐dipeptide, derived from the biopolymer cyanophycin) is described, including the effects of the membrane dye R18 and of DMSO on cell penetration.Keywords
