A method based on two-tiered fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET) has been developed for selective and sensitive detection of species involved in a multivalent interaction. Pentavalent binding between cholera toxin and ganglioside GM1 is used as a model system to demonstrate the advantage of the two-tiered FRET over one-stage FRET in both conventional fluorimeter and how cytometer, In the system, three fluorescent probes (namely, fluorescence donor, acceptor, and intermediate) are covalently tagged to receptors, and the intermediate is used to bridge the energy transfer between the donor and acceptor even though the donor's fluorescence spectrum does not overlap with absorption spectrum of the acceptor. One of the most significant improvements of the scheme over one-stage FRET is a dramatic decrease in the background fluorescence of the acceptor fluorescence, which, theoretically and practically, increases the detection sensitivity.
