dead Protocols

Category: Cell Biology and Cell Culture: Cell Viability Protocols

Cell-based assays are important tools for contemporary biology and drug discovery because of their predictive potential for in vivo applications.This assay gives ratiometric, inversely proportional values of viability and cytotoxicity (Figure 4.15) that are useful for normalizing data to cell number. Also, this reagent is compatible with additional fluorescent and luminescent chemistries. - [Read Determining Number of Live and Dead Cells in Cell Population: Cytotoxicity Assay Protocol]

Category: Cell Biology and Cell Culture: Flow Cytometry Protocols: Apoptosis Cytometry Protocols

Common methods applicable to flow cytometry make it possible to: (1) identify and quantify dead or dying cells, (2) reveal a mode of cell death (apoptosis or necrosis), and (3) study mechanisms involved in cell death. Gross changes in cell morphology and chromatin condensation, which occur during apoptosis, can be detected by analysis with laser light beam scattering. - [Read Flow Cytometry of Apoptosis Protocol]

Category: Immunology: B Cell Protocols

This assay is used to measure cell viability. It is a two-color fluorescence assay that simultaneously determines: Live cell number and Dead cell number. - [Read Live Dead Assay for Cell Viability Protocol]

Category: Cell Biology and Cell Culture: Cell Viability Protocols

Assay measures cell viability. It is a two-color fluorescence assay that simultaneously determines Live cell number and Dead cell number. This protocol is designed for use with the GEMINI XS Microplate Spectrofluorometer, a multi-well plate scanner with dual excitation/emission capabilities, but the assay is also adaptable for flow cytometry and fluorescence microscopy. Includes: Cell Culture; Preparation for the Assay; Live/Dead Assay; Reading the Plate; Data Analysis; Alternative protocol. - [Read Live/Dead Assay for Cell Viability Protoco]
