MTT Assay for Glucose Deprivation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were treated with glucose deprivation with or without siRNA targeting AMPK or TSC2. Using a cell proliferation kit (Cat # 11465007001, MTT, Sigma-Aldrich), 24 h after the addition of media with or without glucose, 200 μL of MTT solution was added to each well. Cells were incubated for 4 h at 37°C. Two milliliters MTT solubilization buffer were then added to each well, and cells were rocked to ensure adequate distribution. Cells were incubated overnight at 37°C. The cell media with buffer was thoroughly mixed to assure solubilization of the colorimetric marker, and absorbance was read at 595 nm. A negative control, with cell media and buffer only, no cells, was read alongside for normalization.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effect of H. polygyrus antigens on macrophage viability was assessed using the MTT assay (Cell Proliferation Kit, Sigma-Aldrich). MTT is chemically 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide. First, 1 × 105 cells/well were seeded in 96-well adhesion plates and 200 µL of DMEM medium supplemented with medium conditioned with L929 cells (20%), BCS (10%), and penicillin and streptomycin (1%) was added to each well. The final concentration of two types of somatic antigen solutions (differing in LPS concentration) and secretory-excretory antigens was 10 µg/mL. In addition to the negative control without antigens, a control with LPS (0.1 EU/mL) was performed, which was the highest LPS concentration measured among the tested antigens. The cells were incubated for 24 and 48 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The viability of macrophages was assessed by measuring the absorbance at 570 nm using the Infinite Plate Reader 2000 (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland). The experiment was performed 3 times with 4 technical replicates (n = 12).

The viability of M0 macrophages treated with varying concentrations of GMs or their extracts for 72 h was determined using the Cell Proliferation kit (XTT assay, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) Briefly, after each incubation period (24, 48, and 72 h), XTT was added to the respective wells and the cells were incubated for a minimum of 4 h at 37 °C as per the manufacturer's instructions. The absorbance of the reduced formazan product formed was then measured at wavelengths of 450 nm and 630 nm using a microplate reader (Synergy H1 microplate reader, Biotek Instruments, USA) and the % viability was calculated using the following equation: %Cellviability=Absorbanceoftreatment/Absorbanceofcontrol×100

High Glucose-Induced Osteoblast MTT Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The osteoblasts were cultured in 96-well plates (at 103 cells/well). An MTT assay was conducted after 1, 4 or 7 days of exposure to high glucose (16.5 mM) using a cell proliferation kit (Sigma, Oakville, ON, Canada) according to the manufacturer's instructions. After 24 h, the culture medium was replaced with 100 ml of MTT (0.5 mg/ml). The black crystals that formed after 2–3 h were dissolved with acidified isopropanol and the absorbance was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader (MD SpectraMax M5; Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA).

Cell Proliferation Assay using MTT

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Reduction of MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium1 bromide) to its formazan salt was used as an estimation cell proliferation (Cell Proliferation Kit; Sigma-Aldrich). Briefly, 4000 cells/well were seeded in 96 well plates. At the time of analysis, cells were incubated with 1 mg/mL MTT for 2.5 h. The reaction was stopped by incubation in 100 µL DMSO for 20 min. Absorbance at 570 nm was taken as an indirect estimation of the proliferation rate of viable cells.

The therapeutic potential of proDer p 1-ETAʹ and proDer p 1-SNAP-AURIF for the selective elimination of Der p 1 reactive hybridoma cells was compared by a cell viability assay (XTT assay) using the cell proliferation kit (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Briefly, 5 × 103 cells were seeded/well overnight in 96-well plates in complete medium (DMEM medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS and 1% penicillin streptomycin) at 37°C and 5% CO2. After 24 h, the cells were treated with decreasing concentration of the allergen-rIT or allergen-drug conjugate for 48 h after which the XTT reagent was added to each well and incubated for another 4 h. Zeocin® (100 μg/ml) was used as a control to achieve 100% cell killing. The readout was conducted by measuring absorbance of the reduced XTT reagent at 450 nm with a reference of 655 nm on a spectrophotometer (Bio-Rad).

A human cholangiocarcinoma cell line 1 was incubated in a 96-well culture plate (Nunc, Rochester, New York, USA) with 1 × 104 cells per well for 24 h at 37°C with 5% CO2. The films of the same size were manufactured with different amounts of SHEC and PTX, as previously described. They were subsequently dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and were inserted into the wells of the plate. After 24 h of incubation, the numbers of viable cells were calculated using a Cell Proliferation Kit (MTT; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and measured at a wavelength of 570 nm.

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.
