No. 1 644 79312000 testsTypeColorimetric assay, MTP formatUseful forQuantitation of LDH activity released from damaged/dying cellsSamplesCell-free supernatants from cells in cultureMethodPreparation of cell-free supernatant, followed by incubation of supernatantwith INT to form colored formazan, a product which may be quantitatedcolorimetricallyTime0.5–1h (+ induction of cell death)Significance of kit: The Cytotoxicity Detection Kit measures cytotoxicity and celllysis by detecting LDH activity releasedfrom damaged cells. The assay is performedin a 96-well MTP. The kit can be used inmany different in vitro cell systems wheredamage of the plasma membrane occurs.Examples are:P Detection and quantification of cell mediated cytotoxicity.1Incubating the cells in culture to allowcell death to occur. An increase in theamount of dead or plasma membranedamaged cells during the assay results inan increase of LDH in the culture supernatant.2Collecting the cell-free culture supernatant.3Adding the substrate mixture from thekit to the culture supernatant.
AnyLDH released into the supernatant during Step 1 will reduce the tetrazoliumsalt INT to formazan by a coupled enzymatic reaction. Thus, release of LDHinto the supernatant directly correlatesto the amount of formazan formed inthis step.4Quantitating the formazan dye formedin an ELISA plate reader. The formazandye formed is water-soluble and showsa broad absorption maximum at about500 nm.P Determination of mediator-induced cytolysis.P Determination of the cytotoxic potential of compounds in environmental andmedical research, and in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries.Figure 34: Biochemistry of the Cytotoxicity Detection Kit (LDH): In the firstenzymatic reaction LDH reduces NAD+to NADH + H+ by oxidation of lactate topyruvate; in the second enzymatic reaction the catalyst (diaphorase) transfersH/H+ from NADH + H+ to the tetrazolium salt INT.HP Determination of cell death in bioreactors.Test principle: The assay is based on a thecleavage of a tetrazolium salt when LDH ispresent in the culture supernatant.

Determination of thecytolytic activity of allogen-stimulated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs)using the Cytotoxicity Detection Kit(LDH). Spleen cells of C57/BI 6 mice(H-2b) were stimulated in vitro withP815 cells (H-2d). Viable CTLs werepurified and titrated in the microplate asdescribed in the package insert. Targetcells (1 x 104 cells/well) were incubatedin the presence or absence (effector cellcontrols) of effector cells for 4 hours.Culture supernatant samples (100 µl/well) for effector controls and the effector-target cell mix were assayed forLDH activity.

Ag8 cells (starting cell concentration: 2 x 105 /ml) were cultured andafter 1, 2, 3 and 5 days, aliquots wereremoved. The amount of viable (G) anddead (m) cells was determined bytrypan blue exclusion. LDH activity incell free culture supernatant was determined using the Cytotoxicity DetectionKit (v).Result: Increased LDH release clearlycorrelated with the increase of deadcells.0.500.00123456Days in cultureOther applications: For more examplesof how the Cytotoxicity Detection Kit(LDH) can be used in the lab, see Appendix, page 122.53Cell Death – Apoptosis and NecrosisCytotoxicity Assay MethodsAssays that measure plasma membrane leakage1Cell Death – Apoptosis and NecrosisCytotoxicity Assay MethodsAssays that measure plasma membrane leakageCellular DNA Fragmentation ELISACat.

The kit detects DNA fragments:1Prelabeling of cells with BrdU.2Incubating the labeled cells in thepresence of either an apoptosis inducingagent or effector cells (for cell mediatedcytotoxicity).
At the end of the incubation, cells are centrifuged and either supernatant is analyzed (for cell mediatedcytotoxicity or necrosis) or cellular lysate is analyzed for apoptosis. The supernatant, containing LMW-DNA isused for the assay. If desired, both sample types can be prepared and assayed(See Flow Chart 15).3Adsorbing the Anti-DNA antibodyonto the wells of a MTP.4Adding the supernatant of Step 2 to theMTP.
