Anthocyanin inhibits propidium iodide DNA fluorescence in Euphorbia pulcherrima: implications for genome size variation and flow cytometry.
BACKGROUND Measuring genome size by flow cytometry assumes direct proportionality between nuclear DNA staining and DNA amount. By 1997 it was recognized that secondary metabolites may affect DNA staining, thereby causing inaccuracy. Here experiments are reported with poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) with green leaves and red bracts rich in phenolics. METHODS DNA content was estimated as flu...
متن کاملPropidium iodide as an indicator of Giardia cyst viability.
The use of propidium iodide, whose uptake indicates cell death or damage, was investigated to assess the viability of heat-inactivated and chemically inactivated Giardia muris cysts. This was done by comparing propidium iodide staining with excystation. We first determined that propidium iodide could be used with an immunofluorescence detection procedure by showing that the percentages of Giard...
متن کاملEnergy Transfer between Fluorescein Isothiocyanate and Propidium Iodide – A Problem in the Estimation of Tpot with the Bromodeoxyuridine–DNA Flow Cytometry Technique?
Energy transfer in flow cytometry can occur when two fluorochromes are bound in close proximity (generally within 100 A) and the emission spectrum of one fluorochrome overlaps significantly with the excitation spectrum of the other. The latter criterium is fulfilled for the fluorochromes fluorescein isothiocyanate and propidium iodide and also the former when they, e.g., are used in bromodeoxyu...
متن کاملThe DNA intercalators ethidium bromide and propidium iodide also bind to core histones
Eukaryotic DNA is compacted in the form of chromatin, in a complex with histones and other non-histone proteins. The intimate association of DNA and histones in chromatin raises the possibility that DNA-interactive small molecules may bind to chromatin-associated proteins such as histones. Employing biophysical and biochemical techniques we have characterized the interaction of a classical inte...
متن کاملEstimation of cell survival by flow cytometric quantification of fluorescein diacetate/propidium iodide viable cell number.
We report a flow cytometric method to quantify the number of viable cells remaining in suspension culture following exposure to cytotoxic drugs. Cell viability is assessed by flow cytometric measurement of cellular fluorescence after staining with fluorescein diacetate and propidium iodide in isotonic solution. The number of viable cells per ml of culture is determined by a timed count of viabl...
