Fluorescent Indicators How the assays work: • Superoxide: Utilizes hydroethidine the sodium borohydride reduced

Fluorescent Indicators How the assays work: • Superoxide: Utilizes hydroethidine the sodium borohydride reduced derivative of EB • Hydrogen Peroxide: DCFH-DA is freely permeable and enters the cell where cellular esterases hydrolyze the acetate moieties making a polar structure which remain in the cell. Oxidants (H 2 O 2) oxidize the DCFH to fluorescent DCF • Glutathione: In human samples measured using 40 M monobromobimane which combines with GSH by means of glutathione-S-transferase. This reaction occurs within 10 minutes reaction time. • Nitric Oxide: DCFH-DA can indicate for nitric oxide in a similar manner to H 2 O 2 so care must be used. DAF is a specific probe available for Nitric Oxide Page 19 5: 34 PM © 1988 -2010 J. Paul Robinson, Purdue University BMS 602 LECTURE 11. PPT
