Cell experiment: |
Coelomocytes suspensions (ISO and CF) are separately incubated with calcein-AM (excitation and emission wavelength: 496 nm and 516 nm, respectively) at a final concentration of 200 nM, during 30 min, at 26°C. Calcein-AM is a nonfluorescent ABC transporter substrate whose intracellular accumulation is inversely proportional to ABC transporter activity. Intracellular esterases convert calcein-AM into the fluorescent dye calcein, which is not an ABC transporter substrate, thereby accumulating the dye inside the cell. Therefore, a high fluorescence signal indicates low ABC transporter activity whereas a low fluorescence signal indicates high activity. The fluorescence of samples is measured by flow cytometer. The experiment is repeated six times in duplicates. |

Calcein is a fluorescent dye and self-quenching probe, used as an indicator of lipid vesicle leakage, and also as a complexometric indicator for titration of calcium ions with EDTA, and for fluorometric determination of calcium.
Calcein accumulates intracellularly in coelomocytes incubated in coelomic fluid or ISO-EDTA. Coelomocytes incubated in CF show an increase in the calcein fluorescence intensity compared to the control.

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |

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.
