Ochratoxin B
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Ochratoxin B is an orally active secondary metabolite of Aspergillus ochraceus and non-chlorinated analog of the mycotoxin Ochratoxin A. Ochratoxin B reduces the toxic effects of Ochratoxin A (HY-N6788). Ochratoxin B inhibits cell division. Ochratoxin B causes craniofacial malformations in Xenopus laevis embryos.

In Vitro
Ochratoxin B (1-25 µg/mL) causes pronounced inhibition of HepG2 cell division[1].
Ochratoxin B (96 h) causes craniofacial malformations in Xenopus laevis embryos with less potency than Ochratoxin A[2].
Ochratoxin B (0.001-100 mM; 24-96 h) shows different cytotoxicity levels in primary porcine (PKC), rat (RPTC), human renal proximal epithelial cells (HKC) and porcine renal cell line (LLC-PK1)[3].
Ochratoxin B (2.5-25 μM) at lower concentrations (2.5 and 5 μM) reduces, and at higher subtoxic concentrations (25 μM) increases, Ochratoxin A-mediated toxicity in 3D MDCK cells[4].

In Vivo
Ochratoxin B (4 mg/kg; i.p.) considerably reduces the toxic effects of Ochratoxin A when given together with Ochratoxin A in rats[6].

CFSE Dye Dilution Proliferation Assay
The CFSE (carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester) dye dilution proliferation assay is based on the covalent labeling of intracellular proteins by a cell-permeant fluorescent dye that becomes fluorescent upon intracellular ester cleavage and then is stably retained within cells. As labeled cells divide, the dye is partitioned equally between daughter cells, resulting in a stepwise halving of fluorescence intensity that can be quantified by flow cytometry to determine the number of cell divisions undergone by each cell population. This fluorescence dilution approach enables quantitative tracking of lymphocyte proliferation at the single-cell level over multiple rounds of division. CFSE-based proliferation analysis has been widely applied to measure antigen-driven lymphocyte expansion in vitro, where discrete fluorescence peaks correspond to successive cell divisions and allow reconstruction of proliferative history within heterogeneous populations.

Dye-dilution cell tracking and proliferation staining
Dye-dilution cell tracking assays quantify cell proliferation by covalently labeling intracellular proteins with a stable fluorescent dye that is equally partitioned between daughter cells during mitosis, resulting in stepwise halving of fluorescence intensity with each cell division as measured by flow cytometry histograms. Carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) is a prototypical dye that diffuses into cells, is enzymatically converted into a fluorescent compound, and then covalently binds intracellular amine groups, producing long-lived fluorescence suitable for tracking multiple rounds of division in vitro and in vivo. Successive generations of dividing cells form discrete peaks of decreasing fluorescence intensity, enabling estimation of proliferation history, precursor frequency, and division index within heterogeneous populations. Alternative dyes such as CellTrace Violet (CTV) and far-red membrane dyes (e. g. , PKH26) follow the same dilution principle but differ
