Creating new fluorescent probes for cell biology (2002, background): “gov/Entrez/">Kaede ' from the stony coral Trachyphyllia geoffroyi , which can be converted from a green to a stable red fluorescent protein by irradiation with 350–400-nm ligh”
The Role of the Granuloma in Expansion and Dissemination of Early Tuberculous Infection (2009, background): “To track departing bacteria, we created MD2, an Mm strain constitutively expressing the Kaede photoactivatable protein (Ando et al., 2002), which switches stably from green to red fluorescence on exposure to ultraviolet light, without damage to the bacteria or their infected cells (Figure S4 and…”
Fluorescent proteins and their applications in imaging living cells and tissues. (2010, background): “Kaede (“maple leaf” in Japanese) is the founder of this group, which rapidly changes its color from green to red upon violet light irradiation (15).”
