Cells were dispensed into 96-well microplates at 5 × 104 cells in 200 µL per well. After overnight culture, cells were treated with the indicated concentrations of TBE for an additional 48 h. Cells were washed in DMEM with 10% FBS and then incubated with 5 µg/mL MTT (345-01821, Dojindo, Tokyo, Japan) in 100 µL medium for 2 h. To lyse MTT-generated crystals, 100 µL of 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate was added after the removal of the MTT medium, and the solution was incubated at 37 °C. Twenty hours later, plates were assessed by spectrophotometry at 570 nm.

Cell viability was assessed using 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. PC12 cells were seeded at 1 × 105 cells/ml into poly L-lysine-coated 96-well plates (Wako). After overnight incubation, cells were treated with or without ROEO at 5, 10, 50 and 100 μg/ml for 48 h. MTT assay was then performed by adding 10 μl of MTT (Dojindo, Japan) solution and incubating the cells further for 24 h at 37 °C in the dark., followed by addition of 100 μl of 10% SDS (Wako) and incubation for 24 h. The absorbance at 570 nm was determined using a multidetection microplate reader (Powerscan HT, Dainippon Pharmaceutical, Osaka, Japan). The viability of PC12 cells was calculated as percentage of control.

Cells were seeded in a 24-well plate, and the compounds were added. After incubation for 3 days, a solution (1.1 mg/mL) of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT, from DOJINDO Laboratories, Kumamoto, Japan) was added, and MTT assay was performed as previously described [44 (link)].

Colorimetric Viability Assay for Cultured Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The MTT method, which measures the viability of cultured cells by colorimetry, was used to determine enzyme activity by reducing MTT (3-(4,5-di-methylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) to formazan dye. In both cell types, the number of cells was adjusted to 1.0×10 5 cells/mL, and the cells were seeded in a 96-wellmultiplate and subjected to 24 h static culture in a CO2 incubator. MTT (Dojindo Laboratories) was dissolved in D-PBS to reach a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL; this MTT solution was aliquoted at 100 μL/well in the 96-wellmultiplate and cultured in a CO 2 incubator. The test solution was discarded, the formazan dye was eluted with an acidic isopropanol solution, and the absorbance at 570 nm was measured using an absorptiometer. The calculated value of each sample was divided by the value of the control group and presented as a percentage. This experiment was performed four times.

The effect of Butryroside D on B16F10 or HEM cells proliferation was assessed with an MTT assay. Briefly, the cells were seeded into 96-well plates (5 × 104 cells/well) and incubated for 24 h or 48 h, respectively, for B16F10 or HEM at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2.

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.
