ACT 1™
Assay for CytoToxicity
A non-radioactive cytotoxicity assay for flow cytometry
|
| Key Benefits: |
-
No radioactive materials required
-
Applications - Works with a flow cytometer or
fluorescence microscope
-
Detects cytolytic activity at a cellular level
-
Works with multiple types of mammalian cell lines
|
| Technology: |
|
The most commonly used method to measure CMC/ADCC is a
radioactive chrominum-51 (51Cr)
release assays (2). There are several disadvantages with
this assay: it is expensive, difficult to load certain cell
types, expensive to dispose of due to strict environmental
regulations, and has high background from spontaneous
release of 51Cr. With
the use of flow cytometry, it is now possible to eliminate
the need for radioactive material and increase the ability
to quantify cytolytic activity on a single cell bases.
Various groups have demonstrated that measuring CMC/ADCC
activity by flow cytometry has a strong (95%) correlation
with the traditional 51Cr
release assay (3,4,5,6).
|
| Assay Principle : |
A cell tracking dye CFSE ( 7,8,9) is utilized to label the
target cell population. After the assay has run its
experimental protocol, 7AAD (live/dead) (10,11) is added to
measure cell death. 7AAD only enters membrane-compromised
cells and binds to DNA.
Flow cytometry is utilized to gate on the target cells
and measure 7AAD negative vs 7AAD postitve cells. %
cytotoxicity is calculated by the following equation (see
experimental example below):
7AAD positive (upper right quadrant)=R1/
7AAD Postitve (upper right quadrant)= R1 +
7AAD negative (lower right quadrant)=R2
