Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Polyvinyl chloride (120-140 nm; 25-200 μg/mL; 24-72 h) NPs induces cytotoxicity in normal human lung fibroblast cells (IMR 90)[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Further protocols information, click here.
In Vivo
Polyvinyl chloride (50-100 mg/kg; p.o.; daily) disrupts activin hormone levels, reducing testes weight and sperm count in male offspring and increasing activin in female offspring of mice[5].

Protocols
-
Cell Viability Determination by MTT Colorimetric Assay
The following protocol uses the MTT colorimetric assay as a classic literature-established method for assessing cell viability/metabolic activity in cultured mammalian cells. MTT[3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] is reduced by metabolically active cells to a colored formazan product; the amount of formazan is quantified spectrophotometrically and provides an indirect measure of metabolically active viable cells. Importantly, MTT reduction reflects cellular oxidoreductase/metabolic activity rather than an absolute direct count of living cells, so changes in cellular metabolism can alter the signal independently of cell number.
