Live dead cell viability cytotoxicity kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, China

The Live/Dead cell viability/cytotoxicity kit is a fluorescence-based assay used to determine the percentage of live and dead cells in a cell population. The kit uses two fluorescent dyes to distinguish between live and dead cells. One dye stains only dead cells, while the other dye stains all cells. The kit provides a quantitative measure of cell viability and cytotoxicity.

Rabbit BMSC Viability and Proliferation on Scaffold

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)
were cultured in a humidified incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2. The cells were incubated in a complete medium containing
89% Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM, HyClone), 10% fetal
bovine serum (FBS, Gibco), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Solarbio).
The culture medium was changed every two days. Only three-passage
BMSCs were used in the experimental studies.
One milliliter
of the cell suspension (2 × 105/mL) was dropped onto
the scaffold and cocultured at 37 °C with 5% CO2.
After culturing for 1, 3, and 5 days, the viability of the BMSCs was
examined by staining the samples using a LIVE/DEAD cell viability/cytotoxicity
kit (Life Technologies) following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Images were captured using a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM710,
Carl Zeiss, Germany). Living cells showed green fluorescence, whereas
dead cells showed red fluorescence. The proliferation of BMSCs cultured
on the scaffold was detected using a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay.
To visualize the morphology of BMSCs on the scaffold, TRITC phalloidin
and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) were used to stain
the cells, and images were taken using a confocal laser scanning microscope;
the cytoskeleton showed red fluorescence, while the nucleus showed
blue fluorescence.

Evaluating Cell Viability with SSA Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effect of SSA on cell viability was analyzed by using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (Dojindo Laboratories, Kumamoto, Japan). HUVECs, 4T1 or HCT-15 cells, were seeded at a density of 6 × 103 cells/well in 96-well plates (Corning, United States). After 24-h incubation, the cells were treated with various concentrations of SSA (1–100 μM) for 48 h. Then 10 μL CCK-8 solution was added for an additional 2-h incubation at 37°C. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader. Cell viability (%) was calculated against the control.
The LIVE/DEAD cell viability/cytotoxicity kit (Life technology, Carlsbad, CA) was also used to assess the viability of HUVECs. Calcein-AM can be transformed into calcein with green fluorescence in live cells, and propidium iodide (PI, red fluorescence) can stain the nuclei of dead cells. HUVECs (6 × 103 cells/well) were cultured in 96-well plates. After incubation at 37°C for 12 h, the medium was replaced by 200 μL of 1–100-μM SSA for 48-h incubation. Then the culture medium was replaced with 1 ml PBS containing 2 μM calcein-AM (Ex 488 nm and Em 515 nm) and 4.5μM PI (Ex 535 nm, Em 615 nm) for 15 min to stain live and dead cells.

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.
