Cell Death / Health Assays
High Content Analysis (HCA) is rapid, automated microscopy providing quantitative image acquisition and analysis. Using Millipore’s superior-quality reagents in ready-to-use kits and cell-based assays that incorporate the power of HCA, researchers around the world are able to learn more about relevant functional cell biology in many different systems, including assessment of DNA damage and apoptosis. Millipore’s HCA kits inclu…
BlueScreen HC uses a single cell strain, which permits 8 compounds to be tested across 8 dilutions (2-fold serial), together with untreated and positive controls, in one 96-well microplate. After arraying test compounds and dilutions, growing cells are added to each well. For studies without S9 metabolic activation data are collected after incubation (48h) using a multimode microplate reader. For studies incorporating S9 metab…
FasL-Strep, a stable homotrimer, efficiently induces the CD95 pathway of apoptosis and is highly suited for evaluation of CD95 (Fas) receptor-ligand interaction. Human or murine FasL-Strep (CD95L-T4) is an engineered human or murine Fas (CD95) ligand. C-terminal fusion of the T4-FOLDON to the extracellular FasL (CD95L) receptor-binding domain (E142-L281) results in bioactive, conformationally stabilized, well defined trimers…
