The quantification of oxidative burst of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMN) was performed to compare respiratory burst function in tumor-bearing dogs with healthy dogs.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Starting Material

Blood

Protocol Overview

Heparinized blood were incubated with opsonized E.coli or control solution for 10min at 37°C in a water bath. Samples were then incubated with dihydrorhodamine 123 as a fluorogenic substrate for respiratory burst at RT in the dark for 20 minutes. This reaction was extinguished, erythrocytes were removed, and cells were fixed by the addition of lysing solution and incubation for 10 min at RT. DNA was stained by DNA staining solution (PI) and the percentage of cells performing oxidative burst and MFI of positive cells was measured using flow cytometry.

Tips

Erythrocytes need to be removed completely to have better results.

Results Summary

A significant decrease in the generation of respiratory burst in PMNs from dogs with cancer compared to healthy dogs.

Additional Notes

Samples better tested within 30 min using flow cytomety.

The Good

Easy to use and time saving.

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

This kits allows the quantitative determination of leukocyte oxidative burst in heparinized whole blood. The kit is applicable on blood of multiple species.
