The Golgi complex, a membranous organelle with important functions in membrane traffic and macromolecular synthesis, was stained in living cells [Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts] with a fluorescent sphingolipid. Cells were 1st incubated with liposomes containing N-[7-(4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole)]-6-aminocaproyl sphinogsine (C6-NBD-ceramide), or with a bovine serum albumin complex of the fluorescent lipid and then examined by fluorescence microscopy. An intensely fluorescent perinuclear structure was identified as the Golgi apparatus by its colocalization with known Glogi markers in fixed cells. C6-NBD-ceramide was used to observe the morphology of the Golgi apparatus in living cells in the presence or absence of monensin or Colcemid, and during mitosis. In all cases, C6-NBD-ceramide revealed a Golgi apparatus in the living cell that was identical to that obtained with conventional procedures that require fixation.
