Edu assay kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The EdU assay kit is a laboratory tool used to detect and quantify cellular proliferation. It functions by incorporating a modified nucleoside, EdU (5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine), into the DNA of actively dividing cells, which can then be visualized and analyzed using fluorescent detection methods.

An EdU assay kit (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was used to determine MAC-T cell viability. Cells were plated into a 24-well plate (5x104 cells/well). Each well was supplemented with 50 µM EdU for 2 h at 37˚C. Subsequently, MAC-T cells were stained with DAPI (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) for 5 min in the dark at room temperature and then cultured with 1X ApolloR reaction cocktail supplied with EdU assay kit (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) for 30 min at room temperature, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature. Cell viability was determined using a fluorescent microscope.

Acute Cell Proliferation Post Needle Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the acute response to needle puncture injury, cell proliferation was assessed day 3 post injury (n = 7 per group) by EdU assay according to manufacturer’s instructions (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). In brief: EdU (A10044, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was injected subcutaneously 24 h before sacrifice. Histological IVD-vertebrae sections were stained using an EdU assay kit (C10338, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). One section per IVD was used for analysis. Proliferation was assessed 3 days after injury because this early timepoint should approximately correspond with the end of the initial acute inflammatory response to needle puncture, and the start of the proliferative phase of wound healing.

Cell proliferation was measured by diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine (EdU) detection with a MTT cell proliferation (Beyotime, China) and EdU assay kit (Invitrogen), respectively. Cells were seeded into 96‐well plates and transfected with miR‐133a, inhibitor or miR‐133a scramble, respectively. After 0, 24, 48, 72, and 120 h, cells were incubated with 10 μL of MTT (5 mg/mL, Sigma) for another 4 h at 37°C, followed by removal of the culture medium and addition of 150 μL dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Absorbance values at a wavelength of 570 nm were recorded on a microplate reader.
After transfection, cells were exposed to 50 μmol/L of EdU for 4 h at 37°C and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. After being washed with a phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS, 140 mmol/L NaCl, 2.7 mmol/L KCl, 10 mmol/L Na2HPO4, and 1.8 mM KH2PO4), and permeabilized with 0.2% TritonX‐100 in PBS at 37°C for 30 min at room temperature.

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.
