Live dead stain fixable viability dye

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

The Live/Dead Stain (Fixable Viability Dye) is a fluorescent dye used to distinguish between live and dead cells. It is designed to label dead cells, allowing for the assessment of cell viability in various applications.

Human blood-derived macrophages were generated from anonymous healthy donors as previously described68 (link). Human blood samples were obtained through the Stanford Blood Center under an Institutional Review Board-exempt protocol. Tumor cells were labeled with CFSE (Invitrogen) as per the manufacturer protocol. Tumor cells were then incubated with the anti-GD2 antibody dinutuximab (obtained from Stanford pharmacy) at a concentration of 10 μg ml−1 or media for 30 min at 37 °C. After incubation, tumor cells were washed twice in PBS and then co-cultured at a 2:1 ratio with macrophages in serum free media for 2 h at 37 °C. After co-culture, cells were washed with PBS and centrifuged at 1,200 × g for 5 min. They were then stained for downstream analysis with anti-CD11b (Clone M1/70, BioLegend) and Live/ Dead stain (Fixable Viability Dye, eBioscience). Flow cytometry was performed on an LRS Fortessa Analyzer (BD Biosciences), and phagocytosis was measured as the percentage of the total CD11b+ macrophages that were also CFSE+. Phagocytosis in response to dinutuximab was normalized to conditions without antibody.

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.
