Cell Density and Solvent Are Critical Parameters Affecting Formazan Evaluation in MTT Assay
The aim of this study was to establish the more accurate protocol for fibroblast cell viability using MTT assay. NIH/3T3 fibroblasts were seeded at the following cell densities: 3.125x10; 1.156x10; 3.125x10; 1.156x10 and 3.125x10 cells/cm. Following 24h of seeding, MTT was added to the wells. After 4h of the MTT addition, different solvents were added to solubilize the formazan crystals: 1) HCl...
متن کاملExamination of Selected Parameters Affecting Formazan Tetrazolium-based Assays for Cellular Viability: A Critical
The hydrogen acceptor 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 dipheny Itetrazolium bromide (Mil) is commonly utilized to estimate cellular viability in drug screening protocols. The present investigation was prompted, in part, by observations that reduction of MTT to its colored reaction product, MTT formazan, varied between cell lines and with culture age. A correlation was established between the D-...

متن کاملLocalization of MTT formazan in lipid droplets. An alternative hypothesis about the nature of formazan granules and aggregates.
MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2, 5-dihphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay is a widely used method to assess cell viability and proliferation. MTT is readily taken up by cells and enzymatically reduced to formazan, a dark compound which accumulates in cytoplasmic granules. Formazan is later eliminated by the cell by a mechanisms often indicated as exocytosis, that produces characteristic needl...
متن کاملEvaluation of Cytotoxic Effect of Zinc on Raji Cell-Line by MTT ASSAY
Background: Zinc has significant effects on structural and functional activities of many proteins and enzymes involved in biological activities, especially the regulation of immune-system. Symptoms of zinc toxicity include nausea/vomiting, fever, cough, diarrhea, fatigue, neuropathy, and dehydration. Further signs include growth retardation, altered iron function, anemia, copper deficiency, ...
