Quantifying Apoptosis in Tumor Samples

Apoptosis in tumors was analyzed by detection of caspase activity, which was measured by cleavage of specific fluorogenic substrates: Ac-DEVD-7-amino-4-trifluoromethyl coumarine (afc) (Bachem, Heidelberg, Germany) for caspase-3, Ac-LETD-afc (Alexis, Grünberg, Germany) for caspase-8 and Ac-LEHD-afc (Bachem) for caspase-9. After homogenization of tumors, corresponding fluorogenic substrate was added. Fluorescence intensity was measured in a Shimadzu RF-5301PC fluorometer. Caspase activity was calculated from the slope as fluorescence units/mg protein/minute of reaction time and converted to picomoles of substrate cleaved/mg protein/minute based on a standard curve for afc.

Orai1 N-terminus Cholesterol Binding Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intrinsic Tyr or Trp fluorescence measurements were made on a Shimadzu RF-5301PC fluorometer (Shimadzu Corp.) using an excitation wavelength of 280 nm. Samples contained 2.5 µM peptide and increasing concentrations of cholesterol [(3β)-cholest-5-en-3-ol; 0.5 to 50 μM]. Synthesized Orai1 N-terminal peptides (QALSWRKLYLSRAKLKASS) were ordered from GenScript and solubilized in a buffer containing 20 mM tris, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM dithiothreitol, and 2% (v/v) ethanol (EtOH) (pH 8.5). Samples contained a final concentration of 2% (v/v) EtOH for cholesterol solubility. The fluorometer was temperature-equilibrated at 20°C, and data were collected in 1-ml (l = 1 cm) quartz cuvettes with the excitation and emission slit widths adjusted such that fluorescence was within the linear response range for the instrument. All measurements were corrected for cholesterol and buffer contributions using control samples in the absence of peptide. Measurements were carried out three times for each peptide.

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.
