Live dead assay kit

Manufactured by BestBio
Sourced in China

The Live/Dead assay kit is a fluorescence-based kit designed to determine the viability of cells. It utilizes two fluorescent dyes to distinguish between live and dead cells. One dye stains live cells, while the other stains dead cells. The kit provides a simple and quantitative method to assess cell viability.

Assessing MSC Viability in TEL

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell viability of MSC in TEL was measured with a Live/Dead assay kit (Best-Bio, Shanghai, China). Experiments were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The representative images were obtained using a ZEISS confocal fluorescence microscope (ZEISS, Jena, Germany).

Evaluating SIRT6 Inhibition in Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the role of SIRT6 in migration, phagocytosis and polarization of macrophages, the SIRT6 selective inhibitor OSS_128167 (Cat#HY-107454, MedChemExpress, USA) was used to suppress the activity of SIRT6 [39 (link)]. And to assess the potential cytotoxicity of OSS_128167, Calcein-AM/ Propidium Iodide (PI) staining assay was performed by using a Live/Dead assay kit (Cat#BB-4126, BestBio, Shanghai, China). Briefly, BMDM were seeded at 2 × 104 per well in 24-well plates and incubated overnight to allow cell adherence. Then treated with 200 μM of SIRT6 inhibitor OSS_128167 for 24 h based on the previous studies [39 (link), 40 (link)], and the BMDM treated with 0.1‰ DMSO was assigned as the Vehicle group. The cells were washed once with sterile PBS and incubated in 0.4 μM fluorescent green Calcein-AM for 30 min at 37 ℃ to check live cells and 2 μM fluorescent red PI for 5 min at 37 ℃ for dead cells.

Assessing Cell Viability with LIVE/DEAD Staining

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Live/dead fluorescent staining was performed using a LIVE/DEAD assay kit (BestBio, China, BB‐4101‐1). Calcein AM emits green fluorescence in living cells, whereas propidium iodide causes red fluorescence in dead cells. First, PGCCs were cultured in cell culture dishes, then rinsed twice with PBS before using the assay kit. Subsequently, they were incubated for 25 minutes. Samples were observed under a fluorescence microscope (Zeiss, Germany).

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.
