The rate of superoxide anion release was measured using a standard protocol [31 (link)] and determined as a superoxide dismutase-inhibitable reduction of cytochrome C. In both treated and untreated cells, 100 μl of cytochrome C were added, and in another sample, 100 μL of superoxide dismutase were also added for 30 min in incubator (all substances from Sigma-Aldrich). The absorbance was measured at 550 nm in a spectrometer (VICTORX3 Multilabel Plate Reader) and the O2 was expressed as means ± SD% of nanomoles per reduced cytochrome C per microgram of protein compared to control [35 (link)].

Quantifying Superoxide Anion Release

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Superoxide anion release was quantified using a standard methodology based on cytochrome C reduction [5 (link),32 (link)]. A Tecan spectrophotometer was used to detect the absorbance in culture supernatants at 550 nm after adding 100 μL of cytochrome C (Merck, Milan, Italy) to each well. Comparatively, empty wells were filled with 100 μL of superoxide dismutase (Merck, Milan, Italy) and 100 μL of cytochrome C, and the plate was incubated for 30 min. The O2 rate was quantified as the average standard deviation (%) of nanomoles per decreased cytochrome C per microgram of protein relative to the control (0 line).

For obtaining good results, using the appropriate microplate for UV region is more important (Held 2001) .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
