ToxCount™ Cell Viability Assay
背景资料：The ToxCount™ Cell Viability Assay is a simple, two-color fluorescent cell viability assay. It uses two probes, calcein AM and ethidium homodimer (EthD-1), to detect live and dead cells simultaneously. Because both dyes are non-fluorescent until interacting with cells, the background of ToxCount is very low.
产品描述：ToxCount provides two probes, calcein AM and ethidium homodimer (EthD-1), for detecting live and dead cells. Calcein AM is a non-fluorescent, cell-permeable dye that is converted to green fluorescent calcein in live cells due to acetoxymethyl ester hydrolysis by intracellular esterases. Ethidium homodimer (EthD-1) is a red fluorescent nuclear and chromosome counterstain. It does not permeate live cells, so is commonly used to detect dead cells. ToxCount data can be acquired using the IsoCyte™ laser scanner (Figure 1) from Molecular Devices (formerly BlueShift Biotechnologies) or standard fluorescence microscopes (Figure 2).
产品应用：
Figure 1: Analysis of ToxCount data using the IsoCyte.
The graph depicted above illustrates the mean intensity ratio for EthD-1 and calcein AM staining in each cell from two separate wells. One well was treated with saponin (copper dots) that resulted in cell death and therefore staining with EthD-1, while the second well was untreated (purple dots) resulting in calcein AM staining. Three cells in the untreated well were unhealthy and stained with EthD-1.
Figure 2: Analysis of ToxCount data using a Fluorescent Microscope.
CHO cells with calcein AM (0.5 mM) and EthD-1 (0.5 mM) imaged using the fluorescent microscope. Untreated, live cells are shown in the upper images while dead cells that had been treated with 70% methanol are shown in the bottom series of images. Microscope objective 20x; images were acquired for 1 second in the case of calcein AM and 2 seconds in the case of EthD-1.

关于5-hmC
5-hmC是近年来在动物组织中发现的，由胞嘧啶修饰而来。5-hmC在表观遗传学上的功能可能与5-甲基化胞嘧啶(5-mC)不同。尽管到现在为止还不确知其功能，有研究者猜测它在调控基因的表达与关闭过程中起着重要的作用。5-mC的发现让我们不得不重新评估DNA甲基信息，也不得不监测人类的健康组织和病理组织之间5-mC相对分布的差异。在EPI公司的MethylFlash技术之前，我们还没有发现任何直接的常规方法来检测5- hmC,以及区分5-hmC和5-mC
5-hmC 和 5-mC的区别
时下常用的DNA甲基化分析方法包括限制内切酶酶切和亚硫酸氢盐或MeDIP介导的MS-PCR和测序，这些技术都不适合用来检测5-hmC，因为它与5-mC事实上很难用这类方法区分开来。为了解决这个问题，EPIk研制了MethylFlash羟甲基化DNA定量试剂盒(荧光法)。本试剂盒提供了一种很经济的方法来检测5-羟甲基化胞嘧啶，并且区分5-hmC, 5-mC, 和 C，使得研究者能够重新评估他们的DNA甲基化信息，也能够在新样品中寻找DNA羟甲基化。 |
