Description

Resazurin sodium (Diazoresorcinol sodium) is commonly used to measure bacterial and eukaryotic cell viability through its reduction to the fluorescent product resorufin.

In Vitro

Resazurin sodium (Diazoresorcinol sodium) is commonly used to measure bacterial and eukaryotic cell viability through its reduction to the fluorescent product resorufin. No viable bacteria are detected 24 h post-inoculation following inclusion of Resazurin sodium in TSBc cultures of F. tularensis LVS at the concentration of 44 μM. Lowering the Resazurin sodium concentration to as little as 4.4 μM still results in a 10-fold reduction in viable F. tularensis LVS compare to growth medium alone. Both Resazurin sodium treatments result in a significant decrease in viable F. tularensis LVS bacteria over 22 h. Treatment with Resazurin sodium significantly reduces the number of viable F. tularensis LVS bacteria in HEK293 cells 22 h post-infection[1].

Cell Assay
[1]

F. tularensis is cultured in TSBc supplemented with 44 μM Resazurin sodium salt at 37°C with shaking for 24 h. At select time points, a Spectronic 200 Spectrophotometer is used to measure the absorbance at 600 nm and 570 nm to detect the presence of Resazurin sodium salt and resorufin, respectively. The ratio of these two optical densities is used to evaluate reduction of Resazurin sodium salt to resorufin over time[1].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
