A rapid colorimetric assay for sulfur mustard cytotoxicity using isolated human peripheral blood lymphocytes and keratinocytes.

چکیده
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a potent vesicating agent that has pronounced cytotoxic effects as well as mutagenic, carcinogenic, and radiomimetic properties. Isolated human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and human epidermal keratinocytes (HEKs) have been used as in vitro models for determining SM-induced cytotoxicity. A recently developed colorimetric assay (the CellTiter 96 AQ ueous Non-radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay) was assessed using both of the in vitro models described above. Using 24- or 96-well microplates, reproducible (+/- 10%) SM dose/response curves for both types of human cells were obtained using a spectrophotometric microplate reader set at 490 nm. After a 4-h incubation time, as many as 96 sample wells could be measured within 45 s using this commonly available equipment. Multiple plates of samples can be run immediately. This technique may facilitate cytotoxicity investigations of new candidate compounds for both prophylaxis of and therapy for SM intoxication.

The Assessment of NK Cytotoxicity and CD56+/CD16+ Phenotype by Flowcytometry in PBL Isolated from Women with Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion
Background: Human peripheral blood NK cells constitutively express CD56 and CD16 antigens. Peripheral blood NK cells seem to be strongly related with decidual NK cells, and may reflect the decidual NK cell functional status. There are varied reports concerning the relationship between NK cell cytotoxicity in women with recurrent spontaneous abortion. Objective: To study NK activity in women wit...
