Exploring Long-term Protection of Normal Human Fibroblasts and Epithelial Cells from Chemotherapy in Cell Culture

Exploring Long-term Protection of Normal Human Fibroblasts and Epithelial Cells from Chemotherapy in Cell Culture Authors: Pasha Apontes, Olga V. Leontieva, Zoya N. Demidenko, Fengzhi Li, Mikhail V. BlagosklonnyOncotarget. 2011 March 2(3): 222-233; PMCID: PMC3260824 Background: Microtubule-targeting agents or mitotic inhibitors are commonly used in chemotherapy for cancer. These agents kill proliferating, or cycling, cells by causing fatal mitotic arrest. Because many normal cells cycle very frequently (bone marrow cells, hair follicles, mucosal cells, endothelial cells), these normal cells are also affected by chemotherapy, leading to many side effects and reduced chemotherapy treatment.

ViaStain™ Viability Dyes

ViaStain™ Viability Dyes Nexcelom offers several dyes for fluorescence viability determination. AO (acridine orange) is a nuclear staining dye used to identify and count nucleated cells in a heterogeneous cell population. PI (propidium iodide) is a nuclear staining dye that only enters cells with compromised membranes. It is used to identify dead nucleated cells. AO/PI is a mixture of acridine orange and propidium iodide nuclear staining dyes. The dye mixture can be used with the Cellometer Auto 2000 and Cellometer Vision dual-fluorescence instruments to accurately count live and dead nucleated cells within heterogeneous samples containing non-nucleated cells, such as red [...]
