The FLUOR DE LYS® HDAC fluorometric activity assay kit is a sensitive and convenient alternative to protocols utilizing radiolabeled, acetylated histones or peptide/HPLC methods for the assay of histone deacetylases. It is based on the unique FLUOR DE LYS® (Fluorimetric Histone deAcetylaseLysyl) substrate and developer combination and provides an assay that can be carried out in two simple mixing steps, all on the same 96-well plate. Histone deacetylase inhibitors have shown promise as anti-tumor agents and naturally this has stimulated interest in the screening of compounds for HDAC inhibition.

For the effective isolation of a highly enriched mitochondrial fraction from the cytosolic fraction of various mammalian cells including both apoptotic an non-apoptotic cells. The enriched mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions can be used to study apoptosis and signal trasduction pathways by detecting translocations of factors of interest between the two fractions by ELISA, Western blot or other assays.

MTT, XTT, and resazurin are reduced by mitochondrial metabolic activity to yield coloured or fluorescent products, and thus are useful for and assaying cell viability and quantitating cell number. MTT and XTT are reduced to coloured formazin salts that can be measured by absorbance. MTT generates an insoluble formazin salt, requiring cell lysis before the absorbance can be measured, while XTT does not require cell lysis for measurement. Resazurin is a non-fluorescent blue dye that is reduced to the pink fluorescent compound resorufin, which can be measured by fluorescence or absorbance.

Neutrophil/Monocyte Respiratory Burst Assay Kit provides PMA, dihydrorhodamine 123, and additional reagents necessary for inducing and quantifying a respiratory burst response in neutrophils and monocytes by flow cytometry. The assay can be performed on whole blood or on cells in various types of cell culture media. Because the assay reagents are not species-specific, this assay can be used in any species or cell type capable of producing a NADPH oxidase-dependent respiratory burst response.

TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) mediated dUTP nick-end labeling) is highly selective for the detection of apoptotic cells, but not necrotic cells or cells with DNA strand breaks resulting from irradiation or drug treatment. In this assay, TdT enzyme catalyses the addition of labeled dUTP to the 3’ ends of cleaved DNA fragments. Fluorescent dye-conjugated dUTP can be used for direct detection of fragmented DNA by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
