The LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) Cytotoxicity Assay Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to detect the capacity of PBMCs (effector cells) to trigger lysis of tumour cells in response to different drugs. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from leukocytes, which were isolated from the peripheral blood of healthy donors. According to the guidelines of the Medical Ethical Committee of NJMU, all the donors in this study signed an informed consent. HepG2 and shMet-HepG2 cells (target cells) were seeded in 96-well plates (8 × 103 cells/well) overnight. For the ADCC assay, tumour cells (target cells) were incubated with a concentration of 10 μM anti-c-Met IgG and anti-c-Met IgG-OXA. PBMCs were incubated with tumour cells at an effector to target (E: T) ratio of 5:1, 30:1 and 100:1. After 4 h of co-incubation at 37°C, the cell supernatants were transferred to a 96-well plate, and LDH release was detected using the LDH Cytotoxicity Assay Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and quantified by measuring the absorbance at 490 nm according to the manufacturer's protocol. The cytotoxicity percentage of anti-c-Met IgG or anti-c-Met IgG-OXA was calculated as cytotoxicity% = 100 ×([experimental –effector spontaneous –target spontaneous]/[target maximum—target spontaneous]).

Cytotoxicity Quantification via LDH Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cytotoxicity was quantified by assessing the release levels of LDH using a cytotoxicity assay kit (Beyotime Biotech). Briefly, CEFs seeded in 96-well plates were exposed to NDV at an MOI of 1 for the designated time. Concurrently, control groups were established, including the blank background group, the control sample group, and the maximum enzyme activity group. The reagent to detect LDH release was added to the wells and allowed to incubate for 1 h prior to the commencement of testing. The medium was then collected and centrifuged to remove any cell debris. Then, we added 60 µL of LDH test solution to the supernatant for 30 min (min) at room temperature in the absence of light. Finally, the optical density was determined at 490 nm. The percentage of cytotoxicity was calculated in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.

The cytotoxicity of AGS cells were assessed by measurement of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) expression in the cultured supernatants using Cytotoxicity Assay Kit (Beyotime, Wuhan, Hubei Province, China). The low level control was defined as LDH expression in the supernatant of AGS cells, while the high level control was defined as LDH expression in the supernatant of Triton X-100 treated AGS cells. The percentage of target cell death was calculated using the following equation: (experiment value − low level control)/(high level control − low level control) × 100% [17 (link)–20 (link)].

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.
