• Sensitivity to Toxic Insults: They are sensitive to various cytotoxic agents, allowing for accurate assessment of drug-induced toxicity.
• Consistent Performance: They provide reliable and reproducible results, crucial for evaluating the safety profiles of pharmaceutical compounds.
• Relevance to Neurological Disorders: Their origin from a neuroblastoma tumor and ability to mimic neuronal responses make them particularly suitable for studying drugs targeting neurological disorders.

Assay Information:

Our SK-N-SH-based cytotoxicity safety screening service assesses cell viability, cytotoxicity, and mitochondrial respiration using Beetle luciferin + ATP as the substrate and tamoxifen as the control inhibitor in a functional assay with SK-N-SH cells, detected through luminescence.

Workflow

• Cell Culture Preparation
  • Media Preparation: Cultivate SK-N-SH cells in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin.
• Plating Cells
  • Cell Harvesting: Detach SK-N-SH cells with the use of trypsin-EDTA, then count the number and verify mobile viability.
  • Seeding: Seed the cells right into a 96-properly plate at the foremost density for the assay.
  • Recovery: Incubate the cells for 24 hours to allow them to adhere and get over the plating system.
• Compound Treatment
  • Preparation: Prepare serial dilutions of the take a look at compounds in suitable solvents.
  • Application: Add the test compounds to the wells in triplicate, together with car controls and tamoxifen as the effective manipulation inhibitor.
  • Incubation: Incubate the cells with the compounds for 24-72 hours, depending on the experimental requirements.
• Substrate Addition
  • Preparation: Prepare the Beetle luciferin + ATP substrate solution.
  • Addition: Add the substrate to each well to initiate the luminescence response.
• Detection
  • Measurement: Use a luminescence microplate reader to measure the luminescence signal from each well.
  • Recording: Record the luminescence depth, which correlates with cell viability, cytotoxicity, and mitochondrial respiration.
• Data Analysis
  • Processing: Analyze the luminescence records to assess the cytotoxic consequences of the check compounds on SK-N-SH cells.
  • Calculations: Calculate IC50 values and compare them with controls.
  • Visualization: Generate dose-response curves to illustrate the cytotoxic effects of the compounds.

Published Data
