Lucigenin is a chemiluminescence probe. Lucigenin can be used to detect the production of endogenous superoxide anion radical (O^2-). Lucigenin is extremely sensitive to chloride ions, while it combined with chloride ions, the fluorescence will be quenched. Lucigenin also can be used as a chloride indicator. Ex/Em=455/505 nm.

Description

Guide (The following is our recommended experimental protocol. This protocol is for reference only and should be modified according to your specific needs).
Preparation of Lucigenin working solution
1.1 Preparation of the stock solution
Dissolve 1 mg of Lucigenin in 0.1959 mL of DMSO to obtain 10 mM of Lucigenin.
Note: It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20 °C -80 °C away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
1.2 Preparation of Lucigenin working solution
Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to obtain 5-10 μM of Lucigenin working solution.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of Lucigenin working solution according to the actual situation.

Cell staining
2.1 Cell preparation.
For suspension cells: Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
For adherent cells: Discard the cell culture medium, and add trypsin to dissociate cells to make a single-cell suspension. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.2 Add 1 mL of Lucigenin working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
2.3 Centrifuge at 400 g at 4°C for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
2.4 Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.5 Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS, and then detect by fluorescence microscope.

Dyeing Example

Description: Lucigenin is a chemiluminescent probe, it can be used to detect superoxide anion radicals in cells under alkaline condition with green fluorescence.
Method: For HCO₃⁻ transport assay.
1. Conidia and hyphae from the strains are treated at 28°C with 0.4 M mannitol in a solution of 50 mM NaHCO₃ for 2 h.
2. Wash cells and add 0.4 M mannitol to continue recovery (2 h; 28°C). A solution of only 0.4 M mannitol served as the control.
3. Incubate strains with Lucigenin (10 mM) and observed with a fluorescence microscope.

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
