Simple resazurin-based microplate assay for measuring Chlamydia infections.
The conventional method for quantification of Chlamydia infection using fluorescence microscopy typically involves time- and labor-intensive manual enumeration, which is not applicable for a large-scale analysis required for an inhibitory compound screen. In this study, an alamarBlue (resazurin) assay was adopted to measure Chlamydia infection by measuring the redox capability of infected host ...
متن کاملResazurin-based assay for screening bacteria for radiation sensitivity
We report a simple and efficient colorimetric method to screen large numbers of bacterial strains for UV- and X-radiation sensitivity. We used reference radiation-sensitive and control strains of Escherichia coli K-12 to compare our colorimetric method to a standard clonogenic plating method. Our colorimetric method was as accurate as the standard method and was superior in terms of savings in ...
متن کاملResazurin microtiter assay plate: simple and inexpensive method for detection of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
A method for detecting multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis by using a reduction of resazurin is described. Eighty clinical isolates were evaluated against isoniazid and rifampin; results at 7 days were compared with those of the proportion method. Specificity and sensitivity were excellent. The method is simple, inexpensive, and rapid and might be used with other antituberculosis drugs.
متن کاملA microplate-based screening assay for neuraminidase inhibitors.
Neuraminidase (NA) represents a highly promising new target for drug development in influenza virus genes. Rapid screening of enzyme inhibitors is a key method for the identification of leading compounds. In order to speed up the screening for enzyme inhibitors of natural and synthetic origin, effective and fast assays are needed. 2'-(4-Methylumbelliferyl)-α-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid (4-MUNANA)...
متن کاملA BODIPY fluorescent microplate assay for measuring activity of calpains and other proteases.
The use of 4,4-difluoro-5,7-dimethyl-4-bora-3a, 4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-propionic acid (BODIPY-FL) labeled casein in autoquenching assays of proteolytic activity has been recently described, and we have adapted this assay to measurement of calpain activity. BODIPY-FL coupled to casein at a ratio of 8 mol of BODIPY-FL/mol of casein or higher produces a BODIPY-FL-casein substrate that can be used i...
