The spheroplast lysis assay for yeast in microtiter plate format.
A yeast lysis assay in the microtiter plate format improved precision and throughput and led to an improved algorithm for estimating lag time. The assay reproducibly revealed differences of 10% or greater in the maximal lysis rate and 50% or greater in the lag time. Clonal differences were determined to be the major source of variation. Microtiter-based assays should be useful for screening for...
متن کاملMeasurement of cell numbers in microtiter culture plates using the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33258.
A sensitive fluorimetric assay based on DNA binding of the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33258 was developed to quantitate cell numbers in microtiter plates. The cells were fixed and incubated with the dye solution. The bound dye was extracted with ethanol and fluorescence was measured in a spectrofluorimeter. The method is sensitive for as little as a thousand cells and is particularly useful for th...
متن کاملAn enzymatic fluorescent assay for the quantification of phosphite in a microtiter plate format.
A sensitive fluorometric assay for the quantification of phosphite has been developed. The assay uses the enzymatic oxidation of phosphite to phosphate by a recombinant phosphite dehydrogenase with NAD(+) as cosubstrate to produce the highly fluorescent reaction product resorufin. The optimized assay can be carried out in a 96-well microtiter plate format for high-throughput screening purposes ...
متن کاملMicrotiter plate immunoenzymometric assay for estrogen receptor.
The estrogen receptor (ER) status of breast cancer is used both as a prognostic factor and as a predictor of response to endocrine therapy. An immunoenzymometric assay for ER was developed on 96-well microtiter plates (EIA96). This technique involves two monoclonal antibodies directed against different epitopes in the B domain of ER. The two-step protocol (16-18 h and 3 h at 4 degrees C) requir...
متن کاملA Microtiter Plate-Based Assay for Inhibitors of Penicillin-Binding
PBP2a, the molecular determinant for high level β-lactam resistance in 19 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is intrinsically resistant to most β20 lactam antibiotics. The development and characterization of new inhibitors targeting 21 PBP2a would benefit from an effective and convenient assay for inhibitor binding. This 22 study was directed towards the development of a fluore...
