WST-1 (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to assess the viability of cultured cells. Briefly, cells were seeded into a 96-well plate at a cell density of 5 × 103 per well and treated with BA at indicated concentrations. Then, 10 μL of WST-1 solution was added to each well and cultured for 3 h at 37℃. The optical density (OD) absorbance was measured using a plate reader (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland) at 450nm.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary ovarian cancer cells were seeded into 96-well plates in sextuplicate at a starting density of 5 × 103 cells/well and incubated with ACFP at the concentrations: 0 (as control), 5 × 10−6, 5 × 10−5, 5 × 10−4, 5 × 10−3, 5 × 10−2, 5 × 10−1 and 5 g/L for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. Cells treated with paclitaxel at 5 × 10−4 g/L were included in the same plate as a positive control. Cell viability was later measured using the WST-1 (water-soluble tetrazolium 1) cell viability and cytotoxicity assay kit (Beyotime, Haimen, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The percent viability of cells was calculated using the formula to calculate the cell viability ratio (VR): VR (%) = (the experimental group A450nm value/control group A450nm value) × 100 %. To assess general toxicity of ACFP, viability of normal ovarian cells treated with ACFP was assayed using the same procedure. The effect of ACFP was compared with LfcinB and PGPIPN (the products of Shanghai Sangon Biological Engineering Technology, China). Each experiment was performed in two independent sets.

Cell viability was measured according to the manufacturer's instructions18 (link). Cells were seeded in a 96-well plate and treated with different treatments of penfluridol. WST-1 (Beyotime, shanghai, China) was added and placed at 37 °C for 1 h, and the absorbance at 450 nm was quantified by an automated microplat spectrophotometer (BioTek Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA).

Colorimetric Assay for Cell Viability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The viability of cells was analyzed using a colorimetric assay for quantification of the cleavage of the tetrazolium salt WST-1 (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) by mitochondrial dehydrogenases. The resulting dye can be quantified by a spectrophotometer and directly correlated with the number of metabolically active cells in the culture. For the test, 1 × 104 BHT-101 and KMH-2 cells were seeded in each well of 96-well microplates for 12 h. Cells were divided into three groups: cells treated with pcDNA-BASP1, cells treated with pcDNA3.1, and blank control. After incubation for 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h at 37°C, the culture medium was removed and the cells were rinsed twice with PBS. Then, 100 μl of culture medium containing 10 vol. % WST-1 reagent was added to each well. The absorbance of WST-1-derived formazan was measured using a Model 550 Microplate Reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) at 450 nm. Cell survival rate = (OD experiment group − OD background)/(OD control group − OD background) ×100%.

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.
