Colorimetric and Fluorometric Cell Viability Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell proliferation was assessed with a standard MTS kit (CellTiter 96 1 AQueous One Solution Reagent (Promega Corp., Madison, WI) according to the manufacturer's recommendations using a 96-well plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). It is a colorimetric method based on the cellular conversion of a tetrazolium compound into a formazan product, which can be detected by the 492 nm absorbance. Such absorbance measurements were not influenced by IR700DX. Cell viability was assessed with a standard alamarBlue Assay (alamarBlue TM Cell Viability Reagent) according to the manufacturer's protocol using a 96-well plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). It is a fluorescent method based on a non-fluorescent molecule resazurin converting to a fluorescent molecule resorufin by reduction reactions in the cytoplasma of metabolically active cells, which can be measured at 590 nm. Such fluorescence measurements were not influenced by IR700DX.

Quantifying Cell Cytotoxicity via LDH Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a cytoplasmic enzyme retained by viable cells with intact plasma membranes and released from cells with damaged membranes. The LDH release was measured using CytoTox 96 cytotoxicity kit based on the manufacturer’s instructions (Promega, United States) (Zheng et al., 2012 (link)). The levels of maximal LDH release were measured by treating the cultures with a 10× lysis solution (provided by the manufacturer) to yield complete lysis of the cells. Absorbance data were obtained using a 96-well plate reader (Molecular Devices, United States) at 490 nm. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, the LDH release (%) was calculated by calculating the ratio of experimental LDH release to maximal LDH release.

ELISA-based Flavivirus Antibody Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant flavivirus envelope protein was coated on the 96-well plates with the concentration of 1 μg/ml at 4°C overnight. Plates were blocked with 3% BSA in PBS, then incubated with the supernatants or purified mAb in 3-fold serial dilutions. After incubation for 1.5 hours at room temperature, the plates were washed 3 times with PBST (0.5% Tween-20 in PBS), followed by addition of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) coupled goat anti-human IgG (Sigma) and detected using TMB Substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for absorbance signal at OD450 nm using a 96-well plate reader (Molecular Devices). Samples having an OD450 nm of above or equal to 0.1 were designated as positive binders. The OD450 of native control were below 0.4. All assays were replicated three times.

Adrenocortical Inhibition Potency Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The in vivo adrenocortical inhibitory potencies of drugs were assessed in rats using an adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-stimulation test as previously described. 24 (link) Each rat was given dexamethasone (0.2 mg/kg IV) to suppress baseline corticosterone production. Two hours later, dexamethasone was readministered and the desired dose of drug in dimethyl sulfoxide vehicle was rapidly injected through either a femoral venous catheter preimplanted by the vendor or a 24 gauge intravenous catheter placed in a tail vein. This was followed by a 1-ml normal saline flush. Immediately after the saline flush, ACTH1–24 (25 μg/kg) was injected through the catheter followed by another normal saline flush. Fifteen minutes after ACTH1–24 administration, a blood sample was removed from the catheter (~ 0.4 ml) for measurement of the corticosterone concentration to determine the adrenocortical response to the ACTH1–24. The blood sample was allowed to clot at room temperature before centrifugation at 16000 g for 15 min. The corticosterone concentration in the resulting serum was determined using an Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) (Diagnostic Systems Laboratories, Webster, TX) and a 96-well plate reader (Molecular Devices). For each drug, the median adrenocortical inhibitory dose (ID50) was determined from the dose-corticosterone response relationship using a Hill equation.

3T3-L1 adipocytes were fully differentiated for 8 days and then treated with different concentration of Oligonol for 24 and 48 hrs. After treatment of differentiated 3T3-L1 cells with Oligonol, free glycerol contents in the cell supernatants were quantified using a glycerol quantification kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Biovision Inc., Milpitas, USA). Glycerol was quantified at 570 nm on a 96-well plate reader (Molecular devices, Mountain View, USA).

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.
