Product Name:

Glutamine Colorimetric Assay Kit

Catalog Number:

K556-100

I have used this glutamine colorimetric assay kit to understand the metabolic reprogramming in virus-infected primary human epithelial cells. After 24 h post-infection, cell supernatant was collected from virus and non-virus-infected cultures and freshly used to estimate its glutamine concentration.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Glutamine quantification in biological samples

Starting Material

Human primary epithelial cells

Tips

If possible use freshly collected cell supernatant.

Results Summary

Virus infected cell supernatant showed reduction in glutamine concentration compared to non-infected cells indicating increase in glutamine uptake by cells during viral infection.
