This article introduces the basic principles and applications of primed conversion technique, focusing on its use in single-cell labeling and lineage tracing. The article provides a historical perspective on lineage tracing techniques and discusses the potential future developments of the primed conversion imaging toolkit.
In 2015, we reported primed conversion, a novel way to convert green-to-red photoconvertible fluorescent proteins, which emerges as a powerful tool for precision optical imaging. Primed conversion uses the intercept of blue and red-to-far-red light instead of traditional violet or near-UV light illumination which offers a series of advantages. Here, we review the fundamental principles and applications of primed conversion with a focus on its use in single-cell labelling and lineage tracing. We provide a historical perspective of lineage tracing techniques, thereby covering basic principles of fluorescence, photoconvertible fluorescent proteins, and eventually primed conversion. We then present the molecular requirements for primed conversion to take place and showcase how it can be used for dual-colour high-fidelity lineage tracing. Further, we discuss potential future developments of the primed conversion imaging toolkit that can benefit the study of both development and disease progression.
