Fixable viability dye conjugated with efluor780 fluorochrome

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Fixable Viability Dye conjugated with eFluor780 fluorochrome is a fluorescent label used to identify and distinguish live and dead cells in flow cytometry applications. It binds to proteins with amine groups, which are present on the surface of all cells, allowing for the detection of cell viability.

Analyzing hNPC Viability in Alginate Beads

hNPCs in alginate beads (n = 5) were incubated for 10 min at 4°C in 55 mmol/L sodium citrate, 30 mmol/L EDTA, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 6.8 to dissolve beads and analyze cell count and viability using a CytoFLEX instrument with CytExpert Software (v.2.1, Beckman Coulter). Cell count was assessed at 1, 4, 10, and 14 days and expressed as event/μL. To evaluate the effect of EV treatment on cell death, hNPCs (n = 5) were stained with Fixable Viability Dye conjugated with eFluor780 fluorochrome (Affymetrix eBioscience, Thermo Fisher Scientific) after 24 h of treatment, using the gating strategy depicted in Figure 1. Similarly, cell viability was determined by analyzing membrane integrity with the LIVE/DEAD assay, following the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, hNPCs in alginate beads (n = 5) were incubated for 45 min with ethidium homodimer‐2 and calcein acetoxymethylester (AM) at room temperature, washed three times with PBS and incubated with Hoechst 33258 (Life Technologies) to stain the nuclei. After incubation, green, red, and blue fluorescence were detected using a confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss LSM700, Carl Zeiss).

Spleen and LN cells were incubated with Fixable Viability Dye conjugated with eFluor780 fluorochrome (Affymetrix, eBioscience, Santa Clara, CA, USA), and background staining was blocked with anti‐FcγR mAb (clone 2.4G2). Cells were then incubated for 15 minutes at 4°C with H‐2k(d) AMQMLKETI APC‐labelled Tetramer (Tetr‐gag, NIH Tetramer Core Facility, Atlanta, GA) and PE‐labelled Pentamer (Pent‐gag, Proimmune, Oxford, UK) to stain for gag197‐205(gag)‐specific CD8 T cells. Cells were incubated for further 15 minutes at 4°C after addition of the following mAbs: anti‐CD3 peridinin chlorophyll protein (PerCP)‐Cy5.5 (clone 145‐2C11; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), anti‐CD8α BUV805 (clone 53‐6.7, BD Biosciences) and anti‐CD62L phycoerythrin (PE)‐Cy7 (clone MEL‐14, Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA). Blood samples were incubated for 30 minutes at RT with the above antibodies/reagents that were placed all together. After washing, blood cells were fixed with Cell Fix solution (BD Biosciences). Red cells were lysed with Pharm Lyse solution (BD Biosciences).

Osteoblast Differentiation and Viability Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human primary OBs were obtained from bone marrow samples of healthy patients undergoing total hip replacement at Policlinico Campus Bio-Medico. The procedure was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome and informed consent from patients was collected in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki principles (Prot 21/15 OSS). Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were isolated as previously described [34 (link)]. OB differentiation was achieved by culturing BM-MSCs at an initial density of 5 × 104 in 24-well plates while adding 10 mM beta-glycerophosphate (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 50 μM ascorbic acid (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and 100 nM dexamethasone (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) to the culture medium for 28 days. OBs were treated with ribociclib, palbociclib, and abemaciclib for 7 days (from day 21 to day 28). OB viability was evaluated by flow cytometry using Fixable Viability Dye conjugated with eFluor780 fluorochrome (eBioscience-Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). OB activity was analyzed by Alizarin Red staining (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

The cell cycle was analyzed using the following gaiting strategy (Figure 6) [35 (link)]. Briefly, cells were fixed and permeabilized with Foxp3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (eBioscience-Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for intracellular staining with anti-Pan Cytokeratin Alexa Fluor 488 (clone AE1/AE3 eBioscience-Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), anti-Ki67-APC (clone 20Raj1 eBioscience-Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and a Propidium Iodure (PI) solution (50 μg/mL PI+ 40 ng/mL RNAseA+ 0.1% of Triton) ((Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Dead cell exclusion was performed with Fixable Viability Dye conjugated with eFluor780 fluorochrome (eBioscience-Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Samples were analyzed by CytoFlex instrument (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA) using the CytExpert Software, v.2.1.

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.
