Adaptation of Three Different Apoptotic Methods in Equine Bronchoalveolar Cells and Comparison of Bronchoalveolar Lavage Cell Apoptosis in Normal and COPD Affected Horses Before and After Dexamethasone Administration
… 3 methods of measuring apoptosis, Vindelov's propidium iodide with Triton-X (PI/Triton-X), 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD), and Annexin V with propidium iodide (Annexin/PI) were evaluated in equine airway lymphocytes. A significant linear relationship was found for equine bronchoalveolar lavage …

The protective role of tumour necrosis factor alpha in the heart
… was also evaluated by the measurement of propidium iodide uptake on flow cytometry. Preconditioning and TNFα enhanced cell viability with a reduction in propidium iodide uptake by 28% and 41 % respectively versus the ischaemic controls. To evaluate whether TNFα activation of the nuclear …

Use of monoploid solanum phureja in cell and tissue culture techniques for potato improvement
… SEPEL yielded two populations of pollen based on propidium iodide staining of DNA. These populations corresponded to pollen separation based on size parameters alone, introducing the potential for flow sorting of pollen to increase seed set in 4x-2x crosses to tetraploid cultivars. Protoplast …

Function Study of Atrial Fibrillation-Linked Connexin Mutants and Heterotypic Docking Compatibility of Cardiac Connexins
… expressing L221I or V85I alone showed increased propidium iodide uptake, which was also the case for cells co-expressing L221I and wildtype Cx40, suggesting increased hemichannel opening probability. A novel AF-linked Cx45 mutant (M235L) was found to impair GJ function. These alterations in …

Cell Toxicology Study of RRR-Alpha-Tocopheryl Polyethylene Glycol 1000 Succinate (TPGS).
… employing the nucleic acid-binding fluorophore; propidium iodide. A colorimetric 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to evaluate cell viability. Cell death can occur through necrosis or apoptosis. Our results suggested that TPGS triggered apoptotic …

The effects of some antibiotics and lipopolysaccharide on oxidative burst and phagocytosis of neutrophils
… was modified for single laser systems by using propidium iodide labeled Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) as a quantitative measure of phagocytosis and simultaneously the green fluorescence of oxidized 2'7' dichlorofluorescein diacetate was used to measure oxidative burst. Propidium-iodide labels …

The effect of doxorubicin on the U2OS cell cycle
… analysis with Bro mo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) and Propidium Iodide (PI) staining. The cells are unable to recover from the severity of this damage and become apoptotic. When a 2 [mu]M dose is applied to the cells, a G2 arrest occurs. This is shown by lower levels of Cyclin B in the G2 phase during …

Development of a Flow Cytometry Method for the Identification and Enumeration of Enterococcus faecalis
… of the cells. Additionally, the application of propidium iodide (i.e., a viability stain), afforded the method the ability to differentiate between cells with intact and compromised cell membranes, which raises the potential of quantifying cells that are in viable-but-non-culturable (VBNC) …

Development of quantitative methods for quality assessment of islets of Langerhans
… dyes, fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and propidium iodide (PI). These methods are operator- dependent and prone to error due to the variability in islet size and shape and are not predictive of transplantation outcome. We developed quantitative assays that allowed reproducible evaluation …

Engineering the Optical Properties of Gold Nanostructures for Biomedical Applications
… cancer cells using flow cytometry coupled with propidium iodide staining. In addition to Au nanocages and nanoframes, I have synthesized Au microplates using a biological macromolecule, bovine serum albumin: BSA), as the reducing agent. I exposed the reductive hydroxyl groups in the protein by …

Organ and primary culture of medaka (Oryzias latipes) testis: Test systems for the analysis of cell proliferation and differentiation
… as determined by BrdU labeling, and CFSE and propidium iodide PI labeling. Based on cytological criteria, the proliferating cells were mostly spermatogonia and possibly also preleptotene spermatocytes. Differentiation of spermatocytes into spermatids or spermatozoa was also observed, mainly …

Gingko biloba extracts protect auditory hair cells from cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by inhibiting perturbation of gap junctional intercellular communication
… then analyzed by immunocytochemistry (Annexin V/ propidium iodide) and Western blots. The function of GJIC was evaluated by scrape-loading dye transfer (SLDT). Basal turn organ of Corti (oC) explants from neonatal (p3) rats were exposed to cisplatin (1–10μM) and EGb (50–400μg/ml). The number of …

Phospholipase A2 Induced Monocyte Chemotaxis to Apoptotic Cells
… and monitored through annexin-V binding and propidium iodide(PI) staining followed by flow cytometric analyses. THP-1 monocytes are employed in chemotaxis assay with monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP-1) as a positive control. The preliminary data show equivalent group IIa sPLA2 association …

Reconstitution of a Multi-layered, Differentiated Cornea by HTERT-Immortalized Corneal Epithelial Cells Transduced with Thymidine Kinase Transplanted onto Denuded Mouse Corneas
… Immunofluorescence (IF) using Anti-Laminin and Propidium iodide (PI) was used to assess presence of basement membrane after epithelial removal. Cultured HyTK cells were stained with Cell Tracker Green CMFDA (5-chloromethylfluorescein diacetate) and transplanted onto the right eye after …

Angiotensin II-induced Apoptosis in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: Differential Effects in Human Saphenous Vein and Human Internal Mammary Artery
… Apoptosis was measured using annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide followed by flow cytometric analysis. Protein expression of Bax, Bcl-2, and phospho-p38 MAP kinase was examined by Western Blot. The data revealed three major findings: (1) Angiotensin II induced significant apoptosis in VSMCs of …

Effects Of Cholesterol On Bovine Sperm Survival During Cooling and Freezing
… Percent viability was evaluated post-thaw by propidium iodide (PI) and SYBR 14 staining using the LIVE/DEAD Sperm Viability Kit protocol. For the study using high cholesterol yolk, domestic hens were fed one of three diets supplemented with 0.5%, 1.0%, or no cholesterol. Eggs from these hens …
