■ pRNA Luc/Neo for monitoring transcriptional activity

The pRNA-Luc/Neo includes a modified coding region for firefly (Photinus pyralis) luciferase that has been optimized for monitoring transcriptional activity in transfected eukaryotic cells. The purpose of this reporter vector is to screen for efficient siRNA for the target gene using Luc activity as a reporter gene. The principle is that when a siRNA silence the target gene by degrading mRNA, the Luc will not be expressed either, because the mRNA for both the gene and Luc as a whole molecule is degraded. The assay of this genetic reporter is rapid, sensitive and quantitative. Reporter Gene Assays

■ Firefly and Renilla Luciferases Assay Kit

» Sensitivity and Linearity : Linear correlation between reporter gene expression and light output for transfection using 1 ng to 1 µg DNA of either Firefly or Renilla luciferase reporter construct. » Low Autoluminescence & High Sensitivity : Reduced autoluminescence background for Renilla luciferase assay and consequently increased sensitivity. » Convenient : One kit for both luciferase assays.

Firefly and Renilla luciferases are widely used as reporter genes for studying gene regulation and function, and for pharmaceutical screening. Renilla Luciferase is often used in conjunction with Firefly Luciferase as a normalizing transfection control or for multiplex transcriptional reporter assays. As with many enzymes, Firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase follow Michaelis-Menten kinetics and thus maximum light output is not achieved until substrates (above the Km) and co-factor are present in large Reporter Gene Assays excess. When assayed under these conditions, light emitted from the reaction is directly proportional to the number of luciferase enzyme molecules. Our Firefly & Renilla luciferase assay kit is designed for detection and quantification of Firefly and Renilla luciferase reporter enzymes from cultured cells in a simple, efficient and linear fashion.

Coelenterazine – coelenterate luciferin – is the substrate for a number of marine bioluminescent enzymes, including those from marine organisms Renilla, Gaussia, Pleuromamma (luciferases) Aequorea (aequorin) and Obelia (obelin). In some of these reactions it is utilized as a simple substrate being catalytically turned over in the bioluminescent reaction catalyzed by luciferases), while in others, such as aequorin or obelin, it is incorporated as part of the photoprotein.

■ Coelenterazine, native

The native coelenterazine, the luminophore of the native aequorin complex, is the standard substrate used in many applications using luciferase reporter assays. Bioluminescent detection of calcium concentration is highly sensitive in a broad concentration range (0.1μM to >100μM) 1-4. Monitoring of reporter genes (phot gene and luc gene) using coelenterazine is also a major application. Other uses of coelenterazine include bioluminescence resonance Reporter Gene Assays energy transfert (BRET)5,10 and chemiluminescent detection of superoxide anion and peroxynitrite in cells or tissues 6-9. Coelenterazine native is recommended when a fast regeneration is important.

■ Coelenterazine 400a Protein interactions study in BRET with GFP acceptor

Colenterazine 400a, also known as DeepBlue™ C, is a coelenterazine derivative that serves as a substrate for Renilla luciferase (Rluc) and generates an emission peak centered around 400 nm. It is the preferred Rluc substrate for BRET studies because it has minimal interference with the emission of the GFP acceptor (GFP vectors are presented in the Bioscience Innovation catalog).

The popular reporter gene, luc gene, encodes the Firefly luciferase. The ATP-dependent oxidation of the substrate D-luciferin by oxygen produces an emission centered around 562 nm. The light output is proportional to luciferase concentration when both D-luciferin and ATP exist in large excess.

Interchim supplies D-luciferin in various forms : free acid, potassium salt and sodium salt and derivatives with acetoxymethyl (AM), methyl ether and DMNPE. The potassium and sodium salt forms are the most popular because they are readily water-soluble. The potassium salt is also the form used in live animal assay. Interchim’s D-Luciferins are strictly controlled via several chemical analyses and also via a final enzyme assay to ensure consistency.

Phosphatases are a specific class of enzymes that catalyze the removal of phosphate groups from proteins, whereas kinases enzymatically add a phosphate to a protein. Phosphatases are important in signal transduction because they regulate the proteins they are attached to. To reverse the regulatory effect, the phosphate has to be removed. Cell proliferation and differentiation are regulated by phosphatases.

Phosphatases serve also as enzyme markers, allowing to quantify phosphatase activity in different types of cells. Alkaline phosphatase is finally a highly sensitive enzyme for ELISA, immuno-histochemical, Northern, Southern and Western blot applications.

■ Fluorimetric Assay kits

The Alkaline Phosphatase Assay Kits use fluorogenic phosphatase substrate, to quantify alkaline phosphatase activity in solutions, in cell extracts, in live cells as well as on solid surfaces (such as PVDF membranes). The kits provide all the essential components with our optimized "mix and read" assay protocol that is compatible with HTS liquid handling instruments.

» Optimized Performance : Optimal conditions for the detection of generic protease activity » High Speed : Minimal hands-on time » Assured Reliability : Detailed protocol and references are provided

The Protease Assay Kits are widely used for detection of generic protease activities. The kits use a casein derivative that is heavily labeled with green or red fluorescence, resulting in almost total quenching of the conjugate's fluorescence. Protease-catalyzed hydrolysis relieves this quenching conjugate, yielding brightly fluorescent dye-labeled peptides. The increase in fluorescence intensity is directly proportional to protease activity. The protease assay kits do not require any separation steps and can be used to continuously measure the kinetics of a variety of exopeptidases and endopeptidases.

The kits contains : • Fluorescent labeled casein with high ratio of dye/protein (pH-insensitive) • Trypsin (as positive control) • Assay buffer • A detailed protocol Enzymes Detection

■ Lysyl Oxidase Assay Kit, Red Fluorescence

Sensitivity : 40 ng of lysyl oxidase in solution

Lysyl oxidase is an extracellular enzyme that catalyzes formation of aldehydes from lysine residues in collagen and elastin precursors. These aldehydes are highly reactive, and undergo spontaneous chemical reactions with other lysyl oxidase-derived aldehyde residues, or with unmodified lysine residues. This results in cross- linking collagen and elastin which is essential for stabilization of collagen fibrils and for the integrity and elasticity of mature elastin. Lysyl oxidase has been identified as a possible tumor suppressor. Lysyl oxidase activity in biological samples is traditionally and most reliably assessed by tritium release end-point assays using radiolabeled collagen or elastin substrates involving laborious vacuum distillation of the released tritiated water. This kit offers a sensitive fluorescent assay for lysyl oxidase activity that utilizes Enzymes Detection 1,5-diaminopentane as substrate, and released hydrogen peroxide is detected using our HRP substrate in HRP-coupled reactions. This method allows the detection of sub ng/mL lysyl oxidase and is Lysyl oxidase dose response on 96-well black plate with 30 minutes incubation time (n=3). The insert shows the low levels of lysyl oxidase detection. much more sensitive than the currently available fluorimetric assay for this enzyme activity. This method eliminates the interference that occurs in some biological samples and can be readily used to detect lysyl oxidase activity in cell culture experiments.

Cellulases are a family of enzymes that include ß-Glucosidases, endoglucanases, and exoglucanases. These enzymes cleave the ß-1,4-D-glycosidic bonds that link the glucose units comprising cellulose. In addition to being produced by plants, cellulase activity is found in many fungi and bacteria, including some plant pathogens. Most animal cells are not known to produce cellulase; cellulolytic activity is often carried out in animals by symbionts. However, recent evidence does suggest cellulase production in some animals, such as insects and arthopods. The study of cellulase activity has many applications in plant Suspension of flowering buds from two mature Arabidopsis thaliana plants in triplicate (50 μL) on a 96-well clear, flat bottom plate read at 3-minute intervals for 120 minutes. molecular biology, agriculture, and manufacturing. Cellulase is also becoming important in the development of alternative fuel sources, as glucose obtained from cellulose hydrolysis is easily fermented into ethanol. Activity of most cellulases can be monitored using our long wavelength fluorescent substrate, Resorufin Cellobioside, contained in the kit. Upon cleavage, the fluorescent compound, Resorufin, is released and activity measurements are easily obtained in a microtiter plate based assay format.

Calcium Assays

Intracellular Ca++ levels have become important indicators for the activation state of ion channels and G-protein coupled receptors as well as for the phases of apoptosis and cell injury. Though the respective kinetics and the absolute amounts of the Calcium levels are different for each of these physiological processes there are common ways for monitoring them. Luminescent labels like Aequorin as well as fluorescent ones are versatile and widely used solutions for microplate assays. Fura 2 and Indo-1 provide ratiometric readout thereby reducing effects caused by leaking or bleached dyes or varying assay conditions.

Pluronic® F-127, a mild non-ionic detergent, can facilitate AM esters loading. The AM esters themselves do not bind to Ca2+. However, once they have entered the cells, they are rapidly hydrolyzed by intracellular esterases into the parent Ca2+ compounds, thus becoming fully fluorescent upon binding to Ca2+. Many other ion indicators are available in our Interchim’ range of dye. Please contact us for specific application needs.

Some of the limitations in the use of Fura-2 appear to be overcome by the use of glass bottom microplates (See page 78).

or Dual staining to detect live and dead cells

■ Live/Dead Mammalian Viability Assay Kit Two-color fluorescent staining of live (green) and dead cells (red)

» Dual Detection : Detect both live and dead cells simultaneously. » Simple & Fast : Require only a 30-min dye loading time and then measure without washing. » Economical : Perform viability and cytotoxicity assays at the same time. » Versatile : Analyze with flow cytometers, fluorescence microscopes or fluorescence plate readers.

The Viability/Cytotoxicity Assay Kit for Live / Dead Cells provides a two-color fluorescence staining on both live and dead cells using two probes that measure two recognized parameters of cell viability — intracellular esterase activity and plasma membrane integrity [Papadopoulos, 1994]. The kit is suitable for use with fluorescence microscopes, fluorescence multiwell plate scanners and flow cytometers and other fluorescence detection systems. The assay principles are general and applicable to most eukaryotic cell types, including adherent cells [Vaughan, 1995] and certain tissues [Poole, 1993], but not to bacteria or yeast. This fluorescence-based method of assessing cell viability can be used in place of trypan blue exclusion, Viability & Cytotoxicity Assays 51Cr release and similar methods for determining cell viability and cytotoxicity. It is generally faster, less expensive, safer and a more sensitive indicator of cytotoxic events than alternative methods. EthD-III shares the same property with EthD-I used in Live/Dead Viability/Cytotoxicity Assay Kit #486301 and is 40% brighter at intensity compared to EthD-I. Validity of the Live/Dead Viability/Cytotoxicity assay for animal cell applications has been established by several publications.

Live cells are distinguished by the presence of ubiquitous intracellular esterase activity, determined by the enzymatic conversion of the virtually nonfluorescent cell-permeant calcein AM to the intensely fluorescent calcein. The polyanionic dye calcein is well retained within live cells, producing an intense uniform green fluorescence in live cells (ex/em ~495 nm/~515 nm). EthD-III enters cells with damaged membranes and undergoes a 40-fold enhancement of fluorescence upon binding to nucleic acids, thereby producing a bright red fluorescence in dead cells (ex/em ~495 nm/~635 nm). EthD-III is excluded by the intact plasma membrane of live cells. The determination of cell viability depends on these physical and biochemical properties of cells. Cytotoxic events that do not affect these cell properties may not be accurately assessed using this method. Background fluorescence levels are inherently low with this assay technique because the dyes are virtually nonfluorescent before interacting with cells.

If cells are first fixed, and then stained, the Live/Dead Bacterial Viability/Cytotoxicity kit can also be considered. To replace the dye Calcein AM that will only stain the live cells, the DMAO; a DNA-binding dye, will stain both intact and damaged cell membranes.

■ Ethidium monoazide, bromide (EMA) Selectively and covalently labels membrane-damaged or metabolically compromised cells in the presence of live cells

Ethidium monoazide bromide is a red fluorescent nucleic acid stain with a photoaffinity label. The dye, after photolysis, binds covalently to nucleic acids.1

After photocrosslinking to DNA, the wavelengths (λexc. / λem. = 504 / 600 nm) are compatible with a simultaneous observation of another green indicator. The dye has been used to "footprint" drug binding sites on DNA2 to modify plasmid DNA,3,4 and to determine hemopoietic cell phenotype, function and position in the cell cycle.5 A particularly useful application of the dye is to selectively and covalently label dead cells in the presence of live cells. Since ethidium monoazide bromide is relatively impermeant to live cells, it selectively labels DNA in dead cells in a Viability & Cytotoxicity Assays mixed population of live and dead cells. Photolysis following the dye application renders the dead cell DNA covalently labeled with the dye. One can then wash and fix the cell preparation and exam it by microscopy fluorescence plate reader or . The major advantage of this method is that researchers can avoid extensive manipulation of live pathogenic organisms.6 At the difference of propidium iodide, the ethidium monoazide binds covalently, and, when applied to cells before fixation, provides an indication of what fraction of the unfixed population Two photon fluorescent image of live PTK2 cells vitally stained with EMA : were membrane-damaged or metabolically compromised.

■ aCella™ - TOX Bioluminescence Cytotoxicity Assay (GAPDH) Measurement of Cell-Mediated (T Cells, ADCC, NK) or Complement-Mediated Cytolysis

» Versatile : Assay can be run in serum supplemented media. » Homogenous - One-step, no wash assay. Assay can be run in same plate as samples. » FAST - Results in 3-5 minutes. » Highly Sensitive - Can detect fewer than 500 cells/well. » Works with PRIMARY CELLS for determining cell Cytotoxicity. » Non-destructive assay allows monitoring of additional parameters.

aCella-TOX provides a new and highly sensitive assay using a patented coupled luminescent technology for the detection of cytotoxicity(1). This assay quantitatively measures the Viability & Cytotoxicity Assays release of Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH) from Primary Cells, mammalian cell lines, bacterial cells(1,2,3). aCella-TOX can work in different media formulations and allows overnight assays while retaining its sensitivity. The sensitivity of aCella-TOX is also greatly enhanced by the coupled luminescent signal-amplification system (3-Phosphoglyceric Phosphokinase/ATP/Luciferase), which yields a strong luminescent signal from even small amounts of released enzyme.

In the aCella-TOX reaction scheme the release of GAPDH Jurkat cells were plated at various cell concentrations per well. NP-40 cytotoxic agent was is coupled to the activity of the enzyme 3-Phosphoglyceric added to each well. The aCella-TOX kit was used to detected G3PDH enzyme release. Data points show average RLU in triplicate. Phosphokinase (PGK) to produce ATP. ATP is detected via the luciferase, luciferin Bioluminescence methodology. Further, aCella-TOX is a homogeneous cytotoxicity assay ; alternatively in dual mode, aCella-TOX can measure cytotoxicity and cell viability in the same plate. Culture supernatants can also be removed from the original plate and assayed in a different plate, allowing kinetics runs to be set up. The assay is non-destructive, allowing the monitoring of additional parameters such as gene expression. The method is highly general, since all known cells express copious amounts of GAPDH, and, unlike other enzymes, GAPDH is very readily released from the cytoplasm upon cell lysis. Using specially adapted formulations, the sensitivity of the method can be driven below 1 eukaryotic cell (2).

Applications : The aCella-TOX method has been tested with many modes of cytolysis, including : » Cellular cytotoxicity (T cells) » Complement(2,3), pore-forming agents » Antibiotic-mediated lysis of bacteria » Detergent mediated and mechanical lysis

■ Universal Fluorimetric Kinase Assay Kit, Red Fluorescence

Most of commercial protein kinase assay kits are either based on monitoring of phosphopeptide formation or ATP deletion. For the kinase assay kits that are based on detection of phosphopeptides one has to spend time and efforts to identify an optimized peptide substrate while the ATP depletion method suffers various interferences due to the use of luciferase that are inhibited or activated by various biological compounds. The Universal Kinase Assay Kit is based on the monitoring of ADP formation, which is directly proportional to enzyme phoshphotransferase activity and is measured fluorimetricaly. This kit provides a fast, simple, and homogeneous assay for measure kinases activities. The characteristics of its high sensitivity (<0.2 uM ADP), broad ATP tolerance (1-300 uM), non-antibody based, non-radioactive and no-wash method to detect the amount of ADP produced as a result of enzyme activity make it an ideal kit for determining kinase Michaelis-Menten kinetics and for screening and identifying kinase inhibitors.

Cells utilize a wide variety of phosphate (Pi) and polyphosphate esters as enzyme substrates, second messengers, membrane structural components and vital energy reservoirs. Phosphate is involved in many biological processes. For example, phosphatases, ATPases and several other enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions in which inorganic phosphate is released from a phosphoester substrate. Detection of many phosphoester– metabolizing enzymes is difficult because suitable substrates are not available. It usually has been necessary to determine inorganic phosphate release using tedious colorimetric assays or radioisotope-based methods. This Fluorimetric Phosphate Assay Kit has been developed for measuring the activity of any Pi- generating enzyme using our red fluorescent Phosphate dose response on 96-well black plate with 1 hr incubation time phosphate sensor. The measurement of Pi is based on the change in the absorbance and fluorescence of our new phosphate sensor. Our kit provides all the essential reagents including phosphate sensor, phosphate standards and assay buffer. It can be used to measure the kinetics of phosphate release from phosphatases (such as GTPases and ATPases) by coupling the two enzymatic reactions. The assay can be performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microtiter-plate format and easily adapted to automation with no separation steps required.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) are two important cofactors found in cells. NADH is the reduced form of NAD+, and NAD+ is the oxidized form of NADH. It forms NADP with the addition of a phosphate group to the 2' position of the adenyl nucleotide through an ester linkage. NADP is used in anabolic biological reactions, such as fatty acid and nucleic acid synthesis, which require NADPH as a reducing agent. In chloroplasts, NADP is an oxidizing agent important in the preliminary reactions of photosynthesis. The NADPH produced by photosynthesis is then used as reducing power for the biosynthetic reactions in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis. The traditional NAD/NADH and NADP/NADPH assays are done by monitoring of NADH or NADPH absorption at 340 nm. This method suffers low sensitivity and high interference since the assay is done in the UV range that requires expensive quartz microplate. Theses NAD/NADH & NADP/NADPH Assay Kits provide a convenient method for sensitive detection. In addition, this assay has very low background since it is run in the red visible range that significantly reduces the interference from biological samples. The assay has demonstrated high sensitivity and low interference with 570 nm excitation 590 nm emission. ■ NADH Assay Kit, Red Fluorescence Viability & Cytotoxicity Assays Sensitivity : 10 nanomoles of NADH in solution

» HTS-compatible : Single-step homogenous assay specifically designed for HTS-based detection. » Fast : Fast enzyme kinetics. » Sensitive : The enzymatic reaction forms intensely green fluorescent 110 (R110) product. The long wavelengths of R110 excitation

and emission minimize cellular autofluorescence (λex\λem= 496/520 nm).

Caspases play important roles in apoptosis and cell signaling. Caspases Fluorometric HTS Assay Kits are specifically designed for HTS-based assays. The kits provide a homogenous assay system for fast and highly sensitive detection of specific caspase activity by fluorescence in enzymatic reaction or mammalian cells.

The assay kits include a caspase inhibitor and can be used as a negative control. Also, R110 dye is provided in the kit for generating a standard curve, which can be used for quantifying caspase activity.

The fluorogenic substrate R110-labeled contains two specific tetrapeptides and is completely hydrolyzed by the enzyme in two successive steps 3, 4. Cleavage of the first peptide results in the monopeptide intermediate, which has absorption and emission wavelengths similar to those of R110, but has only about 10% of the fluorescence of the latter. Hydrolysis of the second peptide releases the dye R110, leading to a substantial fluorescence increase. Apoptosis Assays

The fluorogenic substrate (Ac-IETD)2-R110 contains two IETD tetrapeptides and is completely hydrolyzed by the enzyme in two successive steps.

■ HT Chemiluminescent PARP/Apoptosis Assay ELISA assay kit for monitoring PARP activity before and during apoptosis

Sensitivity down to 0.1 mUnits of PARP - less than 500 cells/well

During apoptosis, PARP-1 which catalyzes the NAD dependent addition of poly (ADP-ribose) (PAR) onto various cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins, is cleaved from about 116 kDa to 85 kDa. HT PARP/Apoptosis Assay is ideal for measuring the activity of PARP in cell extracts before and during apoptosis. The HT PARP/Apoptosis Assay is an ELISA which semi-quantitatively detects PAR deposited onto immobilized histone proteins in a 96-well format. An anti-PAR monoclonal antibody, goat anti- mouse IgG-HRP conjugate, and HRP substrate are used to generate a chemiluminescent signal. Thus, absorbance correlates with PARP activity. Etoposide is a topoisomerase II inhibitor that stabilizes this enzyme after it cleaves DNA. It is included as a control apoptosis inducer.

■ HT Chemiluminescent PARG Assay Kit

» Chemiluminescent format » Higher throughput 96 test size » Sensitivity down to 50 pg of PARG per well

Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) degrades poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymers synthesized by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP1). When activated by DNA strand breaks, PARP1 uses NAD as a substrate to form ADP-ribose polymers on itself and on specific acceptor proteins such as histones, DNA polymerases, DNA ligases, p53, and Fos. These polymers are in turn rapidly degraded by PARG, a ubiquitously expressed exo- and endoglycohydrolase. Excessive activation of PARP1 leads to NAD depletion and cell death during ischemia and other conditions that generate extensive DNA damage. PARG may maintain the active state of PARP1 by continuously removing inhibitory ADP-ribose residues from PARP1. The regulation of PARG activity may therefore, influence PARP-mediated cell death. First, PARG inhibition could slow the turnover of PAR and thereby limit NAD depletion. Second, PARG inhibition could prevent the removal of PAR from PARP1. Because PARP1 is inhibited by extensive poly-(ADP-ribosyl)ation, PARG inhibitors could thereby indirectly inhibit PARP1 activity. Prior work has shown that the PARG inhibitor gallotannin can markedly reduce death of astrocytes after oxidative stress. HT Chemiluminescent PARG Assay Kit measures the loss of biotinylated PAR from histones attached to strip wells in a 96 well format and is ideal for the screening of PARG inhibitors and for measuring the activity of PARG in cell extracts.

■ JC-10 Mitochondria Membrane Potential Assay Kit

» Increased Signal Intensity : Larger assay window » Increased solubility : Much better water solubility than JC-1 » Convenient and Robust : Formulated to have minimal hands-on time » Versatile applications : Compatible with many cell lines and targets Although JC-1 is widely used in many labs, its poor water solubility makes it hard to use for some applications. Even at 1 µM concentration, JC-1 tends to precipitate in aqueous buffer. JC-10 has been developed to be a superior alternative to JC-1 where high dye concentration is desired. Compared to JC-1, our JC-10 has much better water solubility. JC-10 is capable of entering selectively into mitochondria, and changes reversibly its color from green to orange as membrane potentials increase. This property is due to the reversible formation of JC-10 aggregates upon membrane polarization that causes shifts in emitted light from 520 nm

(i.e., emission of JC-10 monomeric form) to 570 nm (i.e., Apoptosis Assays emission of J-aggregate). When excited at 490 nm, the color of JC-10 changes reversibly from green to greenish orange as the mitochondrial membrane becomes more polarized. This JC-10 Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit enable you to monitor mitochondrial membrane potential changes using a simple microplate reader while all JC-10 and JC-1 Comparison on Effect of Campotothecin induced mitochondria the other commercial JC-1 assay kits require the use of a membrane potential change in JurKat cells. Jurkat cells were treated with 10 µM flow cytometer. Our kit provides the most robust method to camptothecin for 4 hours. JC-1 and JC-10 dye loading solution was then added to the monitor mitochondrial membrane potential changes, and can wells for 30 minutes. The fluorescent intensity for both J-aggregates and monomeric be readily used for screening a large compound library. forms of JC-1 and JC-10 was measured at Ex 485 nm/Em 520 and 595 nm.

Technical tip Oxidative metabolism study (ROS, NO)

The production of free radicals primarily results from O2 catched by cells and reduced in mitochondria. 98% is fully utilized by cytochrome c oxidase to form water, but this enzyme can release partly reduced species. Other respiratory chain enzymes, and in particular complexes I and III, also produce partly reduced oxygen species including superoxide. These reactive oxygen species can react with nitric oxide to produce reactive nitrogen species including peroxynitrite. A significant proportion of the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species diffuse with controlled rate into the cytosol, where they react with various molecules, lipids, proteins, sugars and nucleotides. But a major portion remains in the mitochondrion where they causes oxidative damage. When the electron transfer efficiency decreases, more radicals are produced, and so more cytosolic proteins are damaged. Moreover, oxidative and nitrative damage of mitochondrial proteins adds to OXPHOS dysfunction further exacerbating free radical production. A protective mechanism against ROS is SOD metabolism.

Enhanced oxidative stress occurs in number degenerative diseases. In human, ROS are considered to be one of the main causes of aging-related diseases, Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers and other vascular-damage-related brain diseases, Cancer, Artherioschlerosis and diabetes.

In plants, the SOD activity is increased by the use of herbicides such as paraquat, by the SO2 Apoptosis Assays concentration in the atmosphere, by drought, or by exposure to high concentration of zinc and magnesium. ROS probes have high selectivity and sensitivity in enzymatic oxidation reactions, favorising their use for diagnostic analysis. Also, peroxidase is a common enzyme for signal amplification in immunoassays (EIA).

Interchim provides several ROS probes for fluorimetry and colorimetry, chromogenic, fluorogenic or luminogenic.

■ Dihydroethidium (hydroethidine) – Measurement of O2

The superoxide oxidizes dihydroethidium to a specific fluorescent product (oxyethidium) that differs from ethidium by the presence of an additional oxygen atom in its molecular structure. Exposure of dihydroethidium to hydrogen peroxide or peroxynitrite caused no formation of oxyethidium from dihydroethidium. Fluorescence detection at 590 nm (emission) and 530 nm (excitation) is used to monitor oxyethidium production.

The two novel probes, Aminophenyl fluorescein (APF) and Hydroxyphenyl fluorescein (HPF) are selective for the detection of highly reactive oxygen

species (hROS). They offer greater selectivity and stability than does H2DCFDA. Both probes have little reactivity towards other ROS such as: singlet 1 - oxygen (02 ), superoxide (O2 •), hydrogen peroxide (H202), nitric oxide (NO•), and alkyl peroxide (RO2•). HPF/APF are cell permeable and can be used in combination to detect hypochlorite (-OCl) production in cells (see fig 1). Hypochlorite can be detected by loading two samples, one with APF and the other with HPF. Hypochlorite production is visualized by increase in fluorescence of APF loaded cells and no increase in fluorescence in HPF loaded cells.

■ ADHP Hydrogen peroxide Assay Kit

"Read and mix" sensitive H202 Detection Kit

Sensitive : 10 picomoles of H2O2 in solution.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a reactive oxygen metabolic by-product that serves as a key regulator for a number of oxidative stress- related states. It is involved in a number of biological events that have been linked to asthma, atherosclerosis, diabetic vasculopathy, osteoporosis, a number of neurodegenerative diseases and Down's

syndrome. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of H202 biology is the recent report that antibodies have the capacity to convert molecular oxygen into hydrogen peroxide to contribute to the normal recognition and destruction processes of the immune system. Measurement of this reactive species will help to determine how oxidative stress modulates varied intracellular pathways. Hydrogen Peroxide Assay Kit uses our Red peroxidase substrate to quantify hydrogen peroxide in solutions, in cell extracts and in live cells. It can also be used to detect a variety of oxidase activities through H2O2 dose response on 384-well black plate with 30 minutes incubation time (n=3). The enzyme-coupled reactions. The kit is an optimized "mix and read" insert shows the low levels of H2O2 detection. assay that is compatible with HTS liquid handling instruments.

■ SOD Assay Kit with colorimetric substrate WST-1

» Measures 100% inhibition by SOD » pH independent IC50 determination » Convenient 96-well microplate colorimetric assay » Low-background noise measurement

Superoxide dismutase (SOD), which catalyzes the Apoptosis Assays - dismutation of the superoxide anion (O2 •) into hydrogen peroxide and molecular oxygen, is one of the most important antioxidative enzymes. In order to determine the SOD activity, several direct and indirect methods have been developed. Among these methods, an indirect method using nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) is commonly used due to its convenience and ease of use. However, there are several disadvantages to the NBT method, such as poor water solubility of the formazan dye and the interaction with the reduced form of xanthine oxidase.

SOD Assay Kit-WST allows very convenient SOD assaying by utilizing highly water-soluble tetrazolium salt, WST-1 that produces a water-soluble - formazan dye upon reduction with a superoxide anion. The rate of the reduction with O2• are linearly related to the xanthine oxidase (XO) activity, and

is inhibited by SOD, as shown in the Figure above. Therefore, the IC50 (50% inhibition activity of SOD or SOD-like materials) can be determined by measuring the decrease in the color development at 440 nm.

» Cell permeable » No wash homogenous assay » Real time detection of NOS activity » – NO and NO2 detection limit : ~5 nM

NO scavenging can be measured by monitoring 4,5-diaminofluorescein (DAF-2). DAF-2, as a specific NO indicator, selectively traps NO between two amino groups in its molecule, and yields triazolofluorescein, which emits green fluorescence when excited at 490–515 nm. The diacetate form is cell-permeable derivative of DAF-2. DAF-2 diacetate can be used to detect NOS activity in cell culture or tissue sections. This reagent is not species specific and can also be used to detect NOS activity in plant cells (but not in barley aleurone cells1). References : 1) Journal of Experimental Botany 2006 57(3):463-470

■ Luminometric Alkaline Phosphatase Assay Kit

Alkaline Phosphatase Assay Kit uses a proprietary luminogenic phosphatase substrate, to quantify alkaline phosphatase activity immobilized on surfaces, i.e. ELISA, as well as in solutions (i.e. cell extracts, live cells; see page 17). This proprietary phosphatase substrate generates a luminescent product (Em (nm) 560 nm) that produces strong luminescence upon interaction with phosphatase. The kit provides all the essential components with our optimized ‘mix and read’ assay protocol that is compatible with HTS liquid handling instruments. It has extremely high sensitivity, and can be used for the assays that require demanding sensitivity.

Journal 805 800 of Immunology, Here is a Fluorescent secondary reagents for ELISA (II Abs, Avidin) ■ Secondary Antibodies conjugates

We are offering a range of high quality secondary antibodies conjugated with our fluorophores called FluoProbes. Showing superior fluorescence properties, these fluorophores are an excellent alternative to the conventional dyes such and other dyes. Following are selected fluorophores compatible using common exitation sources and standard filters set such as FITC/Cy2, TRITC/Cy3, TR/Cy5, and InfraRed, .

Benefits of FluoProbes-antibody conjugates

» High brightness : FluoProbes® dyes show an enhanced fluorescence compared to other similar conjugates (very high Signal/Noise ratio) » High photostability : Our FluoProbes dies are more photostable than most other conjugates allowing longer reading/scaning. » Color choice : FluoProbes® dyes range in color from green to infra-red. » Ready to use solution : no dissolution step and risk of contamination. » High species-specificity : The secondary antibodies were selected to have highest Immunological Assays specificities. It is then possible to have very species-specific secondary antibodies conjugated with the best fluorochromes.

For direct conjugation of primary antibodies or your biomolecules of interest, Interchim provides a large range of biotinylation and fluorescent agents as well complete kits with desalting tools.

For general use, we recommend to use NHS-, Maleimide, or Hydrazide-activated reagents.

Also, complete biotinylation kits are proposed for non experienced investigators, as well as for convenient labeling (spin format) while avoiding to buy separate reagents.

■ Microspin biotinylation labeling kits-NH2 and -SH Efficient and convenient biotinylation reagent

» Quick : only 1 hour (/NH2) or 3 hours (/SH) to get conjugates » Easy : all processes in a single filtration tube » Reliable : high recovery of conjugates, even for 500 µg of IgG !

Biotin Labeling Kits are primarily used for the preparation of biotin-labeled IgG for Immunological Assays immunoassays. We offer kits with a very convenient format : spin filters where reaction and washes take place, that are available with 2 coupling strategies, and for 2 sample sizes (50-200 μg IgG, or ca 1 mg).

The kit BG767 biotinylates on amines, the most standard strategy. It uses a succinimidyl ester activated biotin, and contains all necessary reagents for labeling 3 samples of IgG antibody (10 μg to 200 μg). It can also be used to biotinylate any protein greater than MW 50 000 Da. The labeling process is simple.

Just add the NH2-reactive biotin to IgG solution on a filter membrane, and incubate at 37 ºC for 10 min. On the average, 5 to 8 biotin molecules conjugate to each IgG molecule. Exceeding biotin molecules can be removed using a Filtration tubes included in this kit.

The kit BT3591 biotinylates on sulfhydryls to obtain oriented and defined biotinylation. It uses a maleimide- activated biotin. Features are similar to kit BG7670, except 1/there is an additional step to create a free sulhydryl in those protein (IgG) that do not have one, without loss of affinity ; 2/maleimide incubation occurs at 37 ºC for 30 min.

Microplate innovation enables leading edge screening assays

» Long wavelength UV microplates » Limited well-to-well light cross talk » Improved cell binding efficiency

The FPlyte microplates are microplates fully compatible with commercially available plate readers, robotic sample processors and automated liquid handling systems. They are available in 2 formats, 96- and 384-wells and 3 colors :

The black plate provides the all-absorbing background needed to minimise background interference for sensitive fluorescence measurements. The opaque white plate maximises reflectivity enabling even weakly emitting luminescence assays to be routinely undertaken. In addition to optimised luminescence and fluorescence measurements the unique design offers improved cell binding efficiency and allows the convenience of direct measurements on bottom reading spectrophotometers and inverted microscopes.

FPlyte microplates are ideal for quantitative assays at excitation wavelengths in the long-wavelength UV area between 325 nm – 425 nm. They offer excellent photometric performance down to 325 nm (80%T at 325 nm, 100%T at 335 nm).

Wavelengths below 350 nm are particularly useful for a variety of fluorescence assays such as HNK-1 (λexc./em.: 325/380 nm), Thiguanine

(λexc./em.: 330/410 nm) using black FPlyte microplates, as well as many absorbance assays including Vitamin A (325 nm), retinol and retinyl acetate (325 nm), caspase (325 nm), acid phosphatase (330 nm) and hydroxyproline (335 nm) using white FPlyte microplates. Accessory tools

Technical tip Fluorescein detection limit of an instrument Begin with a hard weigh-out of at least 4-5 mg and solubilize in 100 mM sodium borate (pH9.5). Borate is the NIST buffer used, but it can be replaced by 50 mM phosphate (pH9). The detection limits may vary slightly. To check the absorbance spectrum and back-calculate to confirm the concentration by a known extinction coefficient as calibrated against the NIST standard. Calculate the concentration of fluorescein stock solution by C (M)=(Amax / extinction coefficient) x dilution fold, the light path is 1 cm, A max at 492+-5 nm, extinction coefficient is 78,000 M-1 cm-1. Make a dilution series into the same buffer, starting in the low nM range and dilute down. For most standard curves, triplicate measurements at each concentration are sufficient. But closer to the detection limit, it is recommand to take 8 replicates. This is important for the blank sample, as well. With detection limits using Z-factor analysis, a result > or = -1 is considered to be a detectable signal. The equation for determining Z-factors is 1-((3*Sample+3*Std Dev Blank)/(Ave. read Sample - Ave. read Blank)).

■ How IMAPlate work?

» Loading, un-loading and washes are simplified, accelerated and reliable : samples and reagents and buffers are loaded simultaneously by capillary force (a)(precise volume), assayed, then drawn away by an absorbent paper (c) or by centrifugation. ex. 1 plate/ samples can be washed in just 10 seconds, without machine ! » Microcuves of 5 µL save up 20 fold (rare) samples and any (costly) detection reagents (ex in ELISA). » Reading (b) : the optical path is perfectly defined, and longer to those of standard microplates ! Hence detection sensitivity is superior. » The microcuves have no bottom ! Thus no parasite optical absorption take place, and you can work in UV, IR..., with superior sensitivity. You even can recover the samples (c). » The microcuves have a geometry more favorable for immunoenzymatic reactions (surface/volume 3.8x superior), compared with wells of standard microplates : hence kinetic is speeded at each step (ex incubations 2 fold shorter in ELISA).

When exposed to excitation light, fluorescence intensity of dyes decreases due to their photooxidation or other photoreactions. There are very few fluorescent dyes that completely resist photobleaching. Frequently, when a section has been scanned repeatedly under strong excitation light, dyes could lose significant fluorescence signal before visual evaluation or photography can be accomplished. For examples, the photobleaching of (such as FITC-labeled antibodies) has become a major problem in fluorescence microscopy. In severe cases (such as phycoprotein-labeled bioconjugates), a fluorescence image of high resolution can not even be taken due to the extremely high photobleaching rate. The Antifade Kit is to reduce the dye photobleaching rate, giving researchers longer observation time. The kit contains all the essential components that can be readily applied to imaging experiments. They are all premixed and ready- to-use solutions. This kit is designed for microplate format.
