The Use of Carboxyfluorescein Diacetate Succinimidyl Ester (CFSE) to Monitor Lymphocyte Proliferation
Carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) is an effective and popular means to monitor lymphocyte division. CFSE covalently labels long-lived intracellular molecules with the fluorescent dye, carboxyfluorescein. Thus, when a CFSE-labeled cell divides, its progeny are endowed with half the number of carboxyfluorescein-tagged molecules and thus each cell division can be assessed by measuring t...
متن کاملAllergen-specific T-cell response in patients with phenytoin hypersensitivity; simultaneous analysis of proliferation and cytokine production by carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) dilution assay.
BACKGROUND Phenytoin can induce diversified adverse reactions including generalized eruptions and the hypersensitivity syndrome. Delayed-type allergic mechanisms have been postulated to underlie these reactions. The tests most widely used to detect T-cell sensitization to drugs are the patch test and the lymphocyte transformation test (LTT), but their sensitivity is not sufficient. Simultaneous...
متن کاملCarboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester fluorescent dye for cell labeling.
Our objective was to study the properties of the carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFDA-SE) and the methodology of cell labeling using CFDA-SE fluorescent dye. First, we analyzed the kinetics of CFDA-SE fluorescent dye intensity over time. Second, we determined the optimal concentration of CFDA-SE fluorescent dye for cell labeling. Third, we tested the toxicity of CFDA-SE fluores...
متن کاملDivided we stand: tracking cell proliferation with carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester.
Most techniques for assessing cell division can either detect limited numbers of cell divisions (bromodeoxyuridine incorporation) or only quantify overall proliferation (tritiated thymidine incorporation). In the majority of cases, viable cells of known division history cannot subsequently be obtained for functional studies. The cells of the immune system undergo marked proliferation and differ...
متن کاملComparison of Two Flow Cytometric Methods for Detection of Human Invariant Natural Killer T Cells (iNKT)
Background: Invariant natural killer cells (iNKT) are an important immunoregulatory T cell subset. Currently several flow cytometry-based approaches exist for the identifi-cation of iNKT cells, which rely on using the 6B11 monoclonal antibody or a combina-tion of anti-Vα24 and anti-Vβ11 antibodies. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the ability of two flow cytometry-based methods f...
