Reaction scheme of BTP3-Neu5Ac for fluorescent and histochemical imaging of influenza virus sialidase activity.

Water-soluble BTP3-Neu5Ac is separated into Neu5Ac and BTP3 by sialidase activity. The water-insoluble fluorescent compound BTP3 is deposited at the location of sialidase activity and illuminates green fluorescence by UV irradiation (Ex/Em = 372 nm/526 nm).
