Invitrogen™ LIVE/DEAD™ Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Kit, for animal cells
Description
The LIVE/DEAD Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Kit measures natural killer (NK) cell-mediated, lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell-mediated and T cell mediated cytotoxicity. Target cells are preincubated with the green-fluorescent membrane stain DiOC18 and then mixed with effector cells in the presence of the red-fluorescent, membrane-impermeant dye, propidium iodide. Live and dead target cells retain the green-fluorescent membrane stain; target and effector cells with compromised membranes exhibit red-fluorescent nucleic acid staining; live effector cells are nonfluorescent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The fluorescence from both live and dead bacteria stained with the LIVE/DEAD Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Kit may be viewed simultaneously with any standard fluorescein long-pass filter set. Alternatively, the fluorescent live and dead cells may be viewed separately with fluorescein and either rhodamine or Texas Red bandpass filter sets. A summary of the fluorescence microscope filter sets recommended for use with the LIVE/ DEAD Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Kit is shown in Table 1 on Page 2 in the manual (https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/manuals/mp07010.pdf).
