- Product overview
Abcam's LDH-Cytotoxicity Assay Kit II utilizes the advanced WST reagent for a fast and more sensitive detection of LDH released from damaged cells. The assay utilizing an enzymatic coupling reaction: LDH oxidizes lactate to generate NADH, which then reacts with WST to generate yellow color. The intensity of the generated color correlates directly with the cell number lysed. Since WST is brighter, less amount of culture medium is required for the assay, and thus the background from serum and culture medium is significantly reduced. Cells can be cultured in regular 10% serum containing medium, no reducing serum or special medium is required for the assay. In addition, since the WST is more stable, the reaction can be read multiple times, and can also be stopped at any time point during the reaction. LDH activity can be easily quantified by spectrophotometer or plate reader at OD450nm. The kit provides all necessary reagents including LDH positive control.

Cell death or cytotoxicity is classically evaluated by the quantification of plasma membrane damage. Lactate dehydragenase (LDH) is a stable enzyme, present in all cell types, and rapidly released into the cell culture medium upon damage of the plasma membrane. LDH, therefore, is the most widely used marker in cytotoxicity study.

Functional Studies - LDH-Cytotoxicity Assay Kit II (ab65393)Comparison of WST-1 and INT based assays. 3T3 cells were cultured in a 96-well plate in 100 µl of culture medium. LDH assays were performed using 10 µl of culture medium using WST-1 (Brown bar) and INT (Green bar) methods. The WST-1 based assay is more stable and sensitive than the INT based method.
