Cell proliferation kit 2 xtt

Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in Germany, Switzerland, United States, Italy, Denmark

The Cell Proliferation Kit II (XTT) is a colorimetric assay used to measure cell proliferation and cell viability. The kit utilizes the tetrazolium salt XTT, which is reduced by metabolically active cells to form an orange-colored formazan product. The amount of formazan produced is directly proportional to the number of viable cells, which can be quantified by measuring the absorbance of the solution.

Cell proliferation was analyzed with XTT Cell Proliferation Kit II (Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA). For the assay, cells were seeded at a density of 5000 cells per well in 96-well plates in six replicates. Before adding the compounds, cells were allowed to attach to the bottom of the wells for 24 h. After that, cells were treated with a range of concentrations of PBA and/or SB for 72 h. Cell viability was evaluated by the colorimetric assay XTT Cell Proliferation Kit II (Roche) and absorbance was measured at 490 nm using a Genios pro microplate reader (Tecan, Tecan Trading AG, Männedorf, Switzerland) in a 96-well plate. DMSO (0.1%) was used as a vehicle control. Fresh working solutions were prepared for immediate use. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of the different compounds were determined using Prism 9 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA). Each experiment was performed three to five times.

Red blood cells from cell suspensions were removed with Red Blood Cell lysis buffer. After washing, cell pellets were resuspended in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% fecal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Splenocytes from aged and young mice (1 × 106 cells/well) were treated in triplicates with ABT‐263 (1 μM, 0.1% DMSO) for 24 h in RPMI medium, washed and then stimulated with LPS (1 μg/mL). Cell viability was measured with XTT assay by following manufactures instructions (Cell Proliferation Kit II (XTT) Roche, MERCK). The colored formazan product was photometrically measured at 450 and 570 nm in a multiwell plate reader (Multiscan FC Microplate Reader). Analysis of annexin V expression was performed 4 h post‐ABT‐263 treatment.

Cytotoxicity Evaluation in Neuronal Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The analysis of cytotoxicity was performed with Cell Proliferation Kit II—XTT (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Mannheim, Germany). Cytotoxicity was evaluated in neuronal cells differentiated at different concentrations of the tested compounds. Cells were seeded in 24-well plates and treated with the compounds for 24 h. Then, cells were incubated with XTT solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The absorbance was measured at 492 and 690 nm (Epoch Microplate Spectrophotometer, BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA), and the final result for each sample is directly proportional to the number of viable cells. The value obtained for the negative control was considered 100%.

Keratinocytes were treated with various concentrations of synthetic PSM Fα3, purified PSM Fα3, purified PSM α3 and bacterial supernatants for 24 h. Cell viability was evaluated using XTT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assays. For XTT assay, XTT labeling mixture was added and cell viability assay was performed using the cell proliferation kit II (XTT, Roche, Basel, Switzerland) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For LDH assay, supernatants were collected after 24 h and mixed with 500 µL of PBS – 0.1% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich). Cells were lysed with 1 mL of PBS – 0.1% Triton X-100 and sonicated for 30 s. The LDH released was measured with the Cobas® (Roche) analyzer and viability was calculated, yielding the ratio between the LDH released in supernatants and the total LDH measured in both supernatants and cell lysates.

Cell Viability Assay Protocol Using XTT

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell viability was assessed using the Cell Proliferation kit II (XTT) (Roche Diagnostics, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) as previously described [59 (link)]. In this assay, the tetrazolium salt 2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) was cleaved by viable cells in order to form an orange formazan dye that is then quantified photometrically at 450 nm. Briefly, the cells (4 × 105 cells/mL) were cultured in 96-well plates for 24 h. The culture medium was then replaced by medium containing serial dilutions of the 3CLpro inhibitors, and the cells were incubated for 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. Then, XTT was added to each well and the plates were incubated for 2 h. Optical density was measured at 450 nm (reference wavelength—650 nm) using a Multiskan GO plate reader (Thermo Scientific Instruments, Waltham, MA, USA). For the quantifications, the background levels of media without cultured cells were subtracted.

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.
