Wst 1 cell proliferation assay

Manufactured by Takara Bio
Sourced in United States, Japan

The WST-1 cell proliferation assay is a colorimetric method for the quantitative determination of cell proliferation and viability. The assay is based on the cleavage of the tetrazolium salt WST-1 to a colored formazan product by cellular mitochondrial dehydrogenases. The amount of the formazan dye formed directly correlates with the number of metabolically active cells in the culture.

Cell Proliferation and Colony Formation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WST-1 cell proliferation assay (Clontech) and the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega) was performed according to the manufacturer’s instruction. For colony formation assay, 2000–5000 cells per well were seeded on 6-well plate. After 2–3 weeks, the cells were first fixed by 4% paraformaldehyde and then stained with 0.05% crystal violet. The colonies were then imaged and counted for quantification.

Angpt2 Modulates MMC Viability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The viability of MMCs was determined by using WST-1 Cell Proliferation Assay (Clontech Laboratories, Mountain View, CA, USA). MMCs (5 × 103 cells/well) were seeded in 96-well plates for 24 hr. Cells were cultured under NG or HG conditions, with or without mouse recombinant Angpt2 protein (300 ng/mL), for 48 hr. Cells were incubated with WST-1 substrate at 37°C for 1 hr, and absorbance at 450 nm was detected using an ELISA reader.

Evaluating PI3K/mTOR Inhibitors on PIK3CA Mutant Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human SW48 and SW48 cells also carrying the PIK3CAH1047R mutation (SW48PK, Horizon Discovery, UK) were plated at 9000 cells/well in 96 well plates and allowed to adhere 48 hours. Culture medium was replaced with medium containing BEZ235 or TAK-228 at increasing concentrations. Cells were allowed to grow for 48 hours before a pre-mix WST-1 cell proliferation assay (Takara Bio USA, Mountain View, CA) was performed per manufacturer protocol.

The Firefly luciferase (FL) assay was performed to evaluate the effects of each reagent on JEV RNA replication as described previously [7] (link). Briefly, BHKMuarPACLuc rep cells were plated onto 24-well plates (1 × 105 cells per well) in triplicate and then treated with each reagent at several concentrations for 72 h. After treatment, the cells were subjected to the Luciferase assay system (Promega, Madison, WI) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The 50% effective concentration (EC50) of each reagent was determined from the assay results.
The WST-1 cell proliferation assay was performed to evaluate the cell toxicity of each reagent as described previously [12] (link). Briefly, BHKMuarPACLuc rep cells were plated onto 96-well plates (5 × 103 cells per well) in triplicate and then treated with each reagent at several concentrations for 72 h. After treatment, the cells were subjected to the WST-1 cell proliferation assay (Takara Bio, Otsu, Japan) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) of each reagent was determined from the assay results.

Quantifying Cell Viability via WST-1 Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell viability assay was performed using pre-mixed WST-1 cell proliferation assay (Takara). WST-1 reagent contains a tetrazolium salt that is cleaved by mitochondrial reductase enzymes of a viable cell to produce yellow to orange colored formazan dye. Formazan is known to show an absorbance at 440 nm. The intensity of formazan dye depends on the number of viable cells or metabolically active cells. After each treatment period, 10 μL of WST-1 reagent was added to each well and plates were incubated at 37 °C at 5 % CO2 for 2 h. Absorbance was measured in a Multiskan plate reader (Thermo Scientific) at 440 nm. Percent decrease in cell viability was calculated from the absorbance of negative control or untreated cells as per the kit protocol. A two-sample t-test was performed using the function in Microsoft Excel to determine the statistical significance of the data at p < 0.05 and p < 0.01.

Cell viability was examined using a WST-1 cell proliferation assay (Takara) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For amido black staining, cells were washed with PBS and fixed with methanol. Then, 0.5% Amido Black solution was added and cells were incubated for 20 min at room temperature. After 20 min, the solution was removed and stained cells were quantified using EPSON GT-X820. Protein assay was by using Protein Assay Dye Reagent concentrate (Bio-Rad) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cell proliferation was evaluated by WST-1 cell proliferation assay (Takara) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Shortly HeLa “scrambled” and EFR3A KnD cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 5000 cells per well and allowed to grow for 24 h. After adding the WST-1 cell proliferation assay reagent, cells were then incubated for 1 h at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Subsequently, absorbance was determined in a GloMax Discover microplate reader (Promega, Southampton, United Kingdom) at 450 nm.

Logarithmically growing cancer cells were seeded at optimized densities (8 × 102 cells/well) for each examined cell line onto individual wells of 96-well polystyrene tissue culture-treated microplates (3598, Corning, Corning, NY). Cells were treated with IRX4647 or vehicle (dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO) at desired concentrations 24 h later. The WST-1 cell proliferation assay (Takara Bio USA, Inc., San Jose, CA) measured cell growth over 5 days using a FLUOstar Omega microplate reader (BMG Labtech, Ortenberg, Germany). These assays were independently repeated at least three times with each biological replicate performed at least in triplicate. Data were normalized to baseline (0 h; no treatment) cell growth.

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.
