Cellular Assays

Cellular assays have always been a powerful tool in the research lab. They are incredibly versatile, and can be designed to measure virtually any cellular or biochemical function. Sensitive detection of fluorescent probes aid in evaluating cell signaling and death pathways, which is useful for the rapid quantification of cell viability. Cellular assays can be used to measure the effects of different treatments on cell viability and to evaluate toxic effects mediated through a variety of mechanisms.

RealTime-Glo™ MT Cell viability assay

RealTime-Glo™ MT Cell viability assay

Supplier: Promega

The RealTime-Glo™ MT Cell Viability Assay is a non lytic, homogeneous, bioluminescent method to measure cell viability in real time using a simple, plate-based method. RealTime-Glo™ MT Cell Viability Assay determines the number of viable cells in culture by measuring the reducing potential of cells and thus metabolism (MT).

Apoptosis assays, Caspase-Glo® 9 assay

Apoptosis assays, Caspase-Glo® 9 assay

Supplier: Promega

The Caspase-Glo® 9 assay is a homogeneous luminescent assay that measures caspase-9 activities. The assay provides a proluminescent caspase-9 substrate in a buffer system optimised for caspase-9 activity, luciferase activity and cell lysis. The addition of a single Caspase-Glo® 9 reagent results in cell lysis, followed by caspase cleavage of the substrate and generation of 'glow-type' luminescent signal. The signal is proportional to caspase-9 activity.

Caspase-Glo® 3/7 assay kits

Caspase-Glo® 3/7 assay kits

Supplier: Promega

The Caspase-Glo® 3/7 assay is a homogeneous luminescent assay that measures caspase-3/7 activities. The assay provides a proluminescent caspase-3/7 DEVD-aminoluciferin substrate and a proprietary thermostable luciferase in a reagent optimised for caspase-3/7 activity, luciferase activity and cell lysis. This liberates free aminoluciferin, which is consumed by the luciferase, generating a 'glow-type' luminescent signal. The signal is proportional to caspase-3/7 activity. It is designed for use with multiwell plate formats using either purified enzyme or cells in culture.

Pgp-Glo™ Assay systems

Supplier: Promega

Pgp-Glo™ Assay Systems provide the necessary reagents to perform luminescent P-glycoprotein (Pgp) ATPase assays. Pgp, also known as MDR1 and ABCB1, is a 170 kDa integral plasma membrane protein that functions as an ATP-dependent drug efflux pump and plays an important role in multidrug resistance and certain adverse drug-drug interactions. Compounds that interact with Pgp can be identified as stimulators or inhibitors of its ATPase activity. Compounds that are substrates for transport by Pgp typically stimulate its ATPase activity.

Non-Radioactive Protein Kinase Assays, PepTag®

Supplier: Promega

The PepTag® Non-Radioactive Protein Kinase Assay Systems use brightly coloured fluorescent peptide substrates that are highly specific for PKC (PepTag® C1 Peptide-PLSRTLSVAAK) and PKA (PepTag® A1 Peptide-LRRASLG). Phosphorylation of the peptide alters the net charge from +1 to –1, allowing phosphorylated and non phosphorylated versions of the substrate to be rapidly separated on an agarose gel at neutral pH.

Oxidative stress detection kit, ROS-Glo™ H₂O₂ assay

Oxidative stress detection kit, ROS-Glo™ H₂O₂ assay

Supplier: Promega

The ROS-Glo™ H₂O₂ Assay is a homogeneous, fast and sensitive bioluminescent assay that measures the level of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a reactive oxygen species (ROS), directly in cell culture or in defined enzyme reactions. A derivatised luciferin substrate is incubated with sample and reacts directly with H₂O₂ to generate a luciferin precursor. The ROS-Glo™ detection solution converts the precursor to luciferin and provides Ultra-Glo™ Recombinant Luciferase to produce light signal that is proportional to the level of H₂O₂ present in the sample.

Cell proliferation assays, CellTiter 96® Non-radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (MTT)

Cell proliferation assays, CellTiter 96® Non-radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (MTT)

Supplier: Promega

CellTiter 96® Non-radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay is a collection of qualified reagents that provide a convenient method of determining viable cell number. The CellTiter 96® Assay is a modification of the MTT assay method described by Mosmann and incorporates several improvements to the method that address previous technical problems, including serum protein precipitation caused by adding organic solvent, interference by phenol red, incomplete solubilisation of the formazan crystals resulting in lower sensitivity, and stability of the coloured product.

Luciferase assay systems

Luciferase assay systems

Supplier: Promega

The Luciferase Assay System is an extremely sensitive and rapid reagent for quantitation of firefly luciferase. Linear results are seen over at least eight orders of magnitude of enzyme concentration, and less than 10 to 20 moles of luciferase can be measured under optimal conditions. Generally, 100-fold greater sensitivity can be achieved over the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) assay.

NAD/NADH-Glo™ Assay

NAD/NADH-Glo™ Assay

Supplier: Promega

The NAD/NADH-Glo™ assays are bioluminescent, homogeneous, single-reagent-addition methods to rapidly detect NAD+ and NADH levels in cells and enzymatic reactions. Usual methods to detect nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides lack sensitivity and reproducibility and require sample manipulation and large numbers of cells for cell-based applications. The sensitivity and robustness of the assay chemistry allows fewer cells to be used to detect individual nucleotides directly in multiwell plates or analysis of enzymes with low activity or with low Km values.

Oxidative stress assays, GSH/GSSG-Glo™ assay

Oxidative stress assays, GSH/GSSG-Glo™ assay

Supplier: Promega

The GSH/GSSG-Glo™ Assay is a luminescence-based system for the detection and quantification of total glutathione (GSH +GSSG), GSSG and GSH/GSSG ratios in cultured cells. A change in GSH levels is important in the assessment of toxicological responses and is an indicator of oxidative stress, potentially leading to apoptosis or cell death. The assay provides a simple, rapid multiwell-plate format where stable luminescent signals are correlated with either the total GSH or the GSSG concentration of a sample directly in culture wells.

MultiTox-Fluor multiplex cytotoxicity assay

MultiTox-Fluor multiplex cytotoxicity assay

Supplier: Promega

The MultiTox-Fluor Multiplex Cytotoxicity Assay is a single-reagent-addition, homogeneous, fluorescent assay measures cell viability and cytotoxicity by detecting two distinct protease activities. The live-cell protease activity is restricted to intact viable cells and is measured using a fluorogenic, cell-permeant peptide substrate (GF-AFC Substrate). A cell-impermeant, fluorogenic peptide substrate (bis-AAF-R110 substrate) is used to measure dead-cell protease activity that has been released from cells that have lost membrane integrity.

Apoptosis assays, CaspACE™ FITC-VAD-FMK in situ Marker

Apoptosis assays, CaspACE™ FITC-VAD-FMK in situ Marker

Supplier: Promega

CaspACE™ FITC-VAD-FMK in situ Marker is a fluorescent analogue of the pan caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK carbobenzoxy-valyl-alanyl-aspartyl-[O-methyl]-fluoromethylketone). The fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) group has been substituted for the carbobenzoxy (Z) N-terminal blocking group to create the fluorescent apoptosis marker. This structure allows delivery of the inhibitor into the cell where it irreversibly binds to activated caspases. The FITC label allows for a single-reagent addition to assay for caspase activity in situ.

Luciferase assay system, Steady-Glo®

Luciferase assay system, Steady-Glo®

Supplier: Promega

High-throughput quantitation of firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase expression in mammalian cells is commonly performed by batch processing of 96- and 384-well plates. Steady-Glo® Luciferase Assay System is designed for this purpose of providing long-lived luminescence when added to cultured cells. The homogeneous assay provides signal half-lives of over 5 hours in commonly used cell culture media, and does not require sample preprocessing. Throughput rates of several thousand samples per hour may be achieved with high reproducibility under standard laboratory conditions.
