Fluorescein diacetate fda

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Germany

Fluorescein diacetate (FDA) is a fluorescent dye used in various laboratory applications. It functions as a cell viability indicator, enabling the detection and quantification of living cells. FDA is a non-fluorescent, lipophilic compound that can passively diffuse into cells. Once inside, cellular esterases cleave the acetate groups, releasing the fluorescent compound fluorescein, which can then be detected using appropriate instrumentation.

Quantifying Viable and Dead Yeast Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and propidium iodide (PI) nucleic acid staining dyes (Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR, USA) were used to examine the viable and dead populations as described in our previous study (Xiao et al., 2022 (link)). FDA can penetrate both viable and damaged cells, while PI only intercalates into the DNA of damaged cells. The stained cells were determined by using Guava easyCyte™ 8-8HT flow cytometer (Guava Technologies Inc., Hayward, CA, USA). The viable cells emitting green fluorescence and dead cells emitting red fluorescence were counted, respectively, and total yeast count is the sum of the numbers of viable cells and dead cells. In addition, the conventional YPD plate culture was carried out for counting of culturable cells as described elsewhere (Deng et al., 2018 (link)). The difference between the viable and culturable cell counts was identified as the number of VBNC cells.

Male SD rats aged 5–8 weeks old (Sichuan Dashuo Biotech Inc., Chengdu, China) were anaesthetized. All experimental procedures and protocols were reviewed and approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Sichuan Agricultural University and were in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Primary hepatocytes were isolated from the livers by a two-step in situ collagenase perfusion method. The viability of hepatocytes was determined by the trypan blue exclusion assay, and a viability of >90% was used. Fluorescein diacetate (FDA) were purchased from Molecular Probes (Carlsbad, CA, USA). The microfluidic channel was sterilized with 75% ethanol for 30 min prior to use. Hepatocytes were seeded at a density of 5 × 106 cells per well on the various substrata. After cells attached for 10 h under a static environment, DMEM with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum was perfused into the microchannel at various flow rates. The microfluidics-based cell-culture platform was then placed in an incubator with 5% CO2 at 37 °C for 15 days.

Antiviral Efficacy of Indolicidin and LL-37 in HSV-1 Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HaCaT cells [28] were seeded in 96-well plates (10,000 cells/well) containing DMEM with 10% FBS, infected with 25 plaque-forming units (PFU) of HSV-1, and were treated with free or liposomal indolicidin or LL-37 for 4 days. Acyclovir (ACV, Sigma-Aldrich) served as a positive antiviral control. Cell viability was analyzed by incubating them with 10 μg/ml fluorescein diacetate (FDA, Life Technologies) for 10 min at room temperature. The plates were quantified by means of a plate reader at λ ex = 492; λ em = 517 nm. Cells' viability was normalized to the control group of non-infected/untreated cells (intact), and was calculated as above. Liposomes at concentrations N125 μM were not tested since the turbidity of the liposomes interfered with the FDA fluorescence readouts. EC 50 was calculated as above (the term "effective" rather than "inhibitory" concentration is used since the antiviral effect was determined by a cell protection assay).

After 24 h in culture, purified islets were handpicked and placed into 3.5 cm petri dishes (Corning, USA) containing 3 ml of culture media.
Islet viability (n=20) was assessed by double fluorescence staining with 20 μl propidium iodide (PI 1:10) followed by 20 μl of fluorescein diacetate (FDA; 1:100; Life Technologies, Foster city, USA) in 3 ml culture media for 30 seconds and then washed in PBS. The average viability of each islet was assessed with inverted wide field fluorescence microscope (Axiovert 200M, Zeiss, Feldbach, Switzerland) on five separate fields based on the percentage of viable versus dead cells.

Carboys of stressed and control CC and T- Iso were fed to the oyster larvae when the algal cultures were 5 days old and 7 days old, respectively. On T0, T24 h, T48 h, and T72 h of the larval exposure assay, approximately 50 mL from non-stressed/control and stressed cultures of CC and T-Iso were collected before feeding the larvae to determine a) pH, b) microalgal cell concentration, c) photosynthetic, and d) physiological parameters (Figure 1).
Cellular assays, extensively described in Rolton et al. (2020) , assessed the: relative size (Forward Scatter, FSC) and complexity (Side Scatter, SSC) of the algae, the chlorophyll content (red fluorescence, FL3), cell viability (SYTOXTM Green, S7020, Invitrogen for CC, and Fluorescein diacetate FDA, F1303, Invitrogen for T-Iso), reactive oxygen species (ROS) production (DCFH-DA, CAS No. 4091-99-0, Sigma Aldrich®) and neutral lipid content (BODIPYTM 493/503, D3922, Molecular probes). Data were analyzed using ‘Cell Quest Pro’ software.

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.
