We have employed a spectroscopic approach for monitoring fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) in living cells. This method provides excellent spectral separation of green fluorescent protein (GFP) mutant signals within a subcellular imaging volume using two-photon excited fluorescence imaging and spectroscopy (TPIS-FRET). In contrast to current FRET-based methodologies, TPIS-FRET does not rely on the selection of optical filters, ratiometric image analysis, or bleedthrough correction algorithms. Utilizing the intrinsic optical sectioning capabilities of TPIS-FRET we have identified, protein-protein interactions within discrete subcellular domains. To illustrate the applicability of this technique to the detection of homodimer formation, we demonstrated the in vivo association of promyleocyte (PML) homodimers within their corresponding nuclear body.
