Hydroethidine he

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Hydroethidine (HE) is a fluorescent dye used as a probe to detect and measure superoxide (O2•-) levels in biological systems. It functions by undergoing oxidation in the presence of superoxide, resulting in the formation of a fluorescent product. HE is commonly used in various research applications to investigate the role of superoxide in cellular processes and signaling pathways.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hydroethidine (HE) and xanthine oxidase (XO) from cow milk were purchased from Invitrogen and Roche Diagnostics GmbH, respectively. DPTA-NONOate was from Cayman. 5-Tert-butoxycarbonyl-5-methyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (BMPO) was synthesized as previously described [11 (link)]. All other reagents were from Sigma-Aldrich and were of highest purity available. In all samples for EPR and HPLC experiments, we used a mixture of phosphate buffer (50 mM) and dtpa (0.1 mM) solutions for maintaining pH at 7.4 and chelate metal ions. The addition of bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solution causes pH of the mixture solution to be shifted up to 7.5, and thereby the small amount of acidic NaH2PO4 was added to the mixture solution for maintaining pH at 7.4. Hypoxanthine (HX) aqueous solution was added to achieve a concentration of 0.2 mM. Hydroxyethidium (HE) and BMPO were added for HPLC and EPR experiments, respectively, for probing reactions involving O2•– and OH radicals. XO (xanthine oxidase) was added to the resultant solution for initiating incubation before EPR and HPLC measurements.

The PPE of parasite cultures was determined by flow cytometry, as previously described [26 (link), 27 (link)]. Briefly, 5 µl of the cultures was collected from the bottom of the wells and centrifuged at 450 g for 1 min at 4 ℃. The supernatant was discarded and the cell pelle washed twice with 150 μl of phosphate buffer saline (PBS) pH 7.2, following which the cell pellet was suspended in 200 μl of 25 μg/μl hydroethidine (HE) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), incubated in 5% CO2 in an incubator at 37 ℃ for 20 min in the dark and ten washed twice with 200 μl of PBS to remove the excess HE. The supernatant was then discarded, and the cell pellet was suspended in 200 μl of fresh PBS. The suspended cells were analyzed by flow cytometry using a Guava® easyCyte flow cytometer (Luminex Corp., Austin, TX, USA) at a ratio of 800–1000 cells/µl with 20,000 events collected. The results were analyzed by FCS Express v6 (De Novo Software, Glendale, CA, USA). Normal, uninfected horse and cattle RBC were used as a negative control for the flow cytometric analysis.

Flow cytometric assay was performed as described by Wyatt et al. (1991) . Briefly, cultures were centrifuged at 450 × g for 5 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was discarded, the cell pellet was washed twice with 150 μl of phosphate buffer saline (PBS) pH 7.2 and then, the cell pellet was resuspended in 200 μl of 25 μg/μl Hydroethidine (HE) (Invitrogen) and incubated in 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C for 20 min in the dark. After incubation, excess of HE was washed from the cells by the addition of 200 μl of PBS followed by centrifugation at 450 × g for 5 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was discarded and the cell pellet was resuspended in 200 μl of fresh PBS. Then, resuspended cells were transferred to samples tube containing approximately 3 ml of PBS containing 0.2% sodium azide for analysis by flow cytometry using a FACSCaliber (Becton Dickinson) at a flow rate of approximately 2500 events/s with 50,000 events collected.

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.
