Cell Proliferation Kit II (XTT) Chemische Eigenschaften,Einsatz,Produktion Methoden

Verwenden

The Cell Proliferation Kit II (XTT) is used for the nonradioactive, spectrophotometric quantification of cell proliferation and viability in cell populations using the 96-well-plate format. It can be used for:
  • Measurement of cell proliferation in response to growth factors, cytokines, mitogens, and nutrients.
  • Analysis of cytotoxic and cytostatic compounds, such as anti-cancer drugs and other pharmaceutical compounds.
  • Assessment of growth-inhibitory antibodies and physiological mediators that inhibit cell growth.
  • Testing of biocompatibility of various scaffolds, employed in bone tissue engineering, for bone cell growth.
  • cell viability assay.

Allgemeine Beschreibung

The Cell Proliferation Kit II (XTT) is a colorimetric assay for the nonradioactive quantification of cellular proliferation, viability, and cytotoxicity. Sample material is either adherent or suspension cells cultured in 96-well microplates.

Colorimetric assays analyze the number of viable cells by the cleavage of tetrazolium salts added to the culture medium. This technique requires neither washing nor harvesting of cells, and the complete assay, from microculture to data analysis by an ELISA reader, is performed in the same microplate.
More recently, the tetrazolium salt XTT was described. In contrast to MTT, the cleavage product of XTT is soluble in water; therefore, a solubilization step is not required. The tetrazolium salt XTT is cleaved to formazan by a complex cellular mechanism. This bioreduction occurs in viable cells only, and is related to NAD(P)H production through glycolysis. Therefore, the amount of formazan dye formed directly correlates to the number of metabolically active cells in the culture.
