Protocol

Cell experiment:

Neutrophils (2.5×106/mL) are preequilibrated in 0.25 μM 3,3'-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOCg(3)) for 5 min at 37°C in a 1 cm path length cuvette. Final volume is 2 mL. Fluorescence measurements are made in a spectrofluorimeter (emission wavelength: 510 nm, excitation wavelength: 470 nm). Stimuli are injected by a syringe through an injection port on the spectrofluorimeter, and their volumes never exceed 5% (v/v)[1].

Background

3,3'-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide is a carbocyanine dye which can be used to monitor changes in mitochondrial membrane potential.

Addition of cells to the cuvette containing 0.25 μM 3,3'-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOCg(3)) leads to an increase in fluorescence, equilibration is rapid and is complete by 4 min. When f-met-leu-phe (10-7 M) is added to neutrophils preequilibrated with 3,3'-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide, there is a short lag period of 5 seconds. The lag period is followed by a rapid loss of fluorescence. Examination of 3,3'-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide loaded neutrophils using fluorescence microscopy demonstrates that in resting neutrophils the brightest fluorescence is associated with long thin organelles which corresponds to the distribution of mitochondria[1].

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
