The present invention relates to methods of visualising cells especially although not exclusively in vivo using a dye, such as a dendrimer-dye molecule or polybranched-dye molecule which is internalised by the cells and thus permits subsequent visualisation by confocal fluorescence endomicroscopy or other optical detectors. There is also provided internally quenched probes for use in visualising cells especially although not exclusively in vivo by confocal fluorescence endomicroscopy and the use of internally quenched probes in combination with confocal fluorescence endomicroscopy, for visualising cells by virtue of internalisation and dequenching of a probe by the cells. In a particular embodiment the cells are activated neutrophils, such as within the lung of a subject.

Human neutrophil elastase (HNE) is a serine protease implicated in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic inflammatory disease. Here a series of, internally quenched, single fluorophore fluorescent reporters were synthesised that allowed the rapid, highly specific and sensitive analysis of HNE activity over closely related proteases.
