To overcome limitations of indirect immunofluorescence, a new method is presented to employ the ostensible disadvantage of cross-labeling secondary antibodies by separation of the fluorescence signals via spectral FLIM-FRET. The undesirable cross-labeling among secondary antibodies leads to the generation of new characteristic FRET emission spectra including a change in the donor lifetime. We used a spectrally resolved FLIM detection system with pulse interleaved excitation. The combined spectral FLIM-FRET and pattern-matching analysis forms an excellent tool for use in indirect immunofluorescence that overcomes the undesirable effect of secondary antibody cross-labeling by assigning separate color channels to cross-labeled fluorescent antibodies.
