Cell counting kit 8 cck 8

Manufactured by Dojindo Laboratories
Sourced in Japan, United States, China, Germany

The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) is a colorimetric assay used to measure the number of viable cells in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays. It utilizes a water-soluble tetrazolium salt that is reduced by cellular dehydrogenases, resulting in the formation of a colored formazan dye. The amount of formazan dye is directly proportional to the number of living cells in the culture, which can be quantified by measuring the absorbance of the solution.

Cells were resuspended with different concentrations of PA and seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 3 × 103 per well. Cellular cytotoxicity was evaluated using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8; Dojindo). After 24 h of treatment, the culture medium was changed to DMEM containing 10 μL per well of Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8, Dojindo) solutions and incubated for a further 2 h at 37°C. The optical density (OD) value was measured at a 490 nm wavelength.

Cytotoxicity Assessment of ESK-MMAE and Q2L-MMAE

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cytotoxicity of ESK-MMAE and Q2L-MMAE was assessed on K562-A2-WT1126–134 and A431 cell lines. Briefly, 3000 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and incubated with different concentrations of ESK-MMAE and Q2L-MMAE (3 replicates per concentration, 0 μg/mL was the control group) at 37 °C, 5% CO2 for 96 h. After incubation, cells were incubated with 10% Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) (Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan) for 2–3 h, and then the OD450 value was measured using a BioRad Model 680 Microplate Reader. According to the formula: The survival rate = the OD450 value of different concentration wells/the average value of OD450 of the control group × 100%, the survival rate of each well cell was calculated. The IC50, which represents the concentration of a drug that is required for 50% inhibition in vitro, was calculated by GraphPad Prim 6.01 software (Graphpad, San Diego, CA, USA based on the survival rate.

MCF-7 cells were incubated in 10% Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) (Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan) diluted in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium at 37°C until a visual color conversion occurred. Following transfection, cell proliferation rates were determined at 0, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours. A microplate reader (set at 450 nm) was used to measure the absorbance of each well. All experiments were performed in triplicate.

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.
