Hoechst 33258 trihydrochloride is a marker dye in Hoechst series. Hoechst is A live nuclear marker dye. Hoechst binds to the grooves in the DNA double strand, which tends to be A/ T-rich DNA strand. Although it binds to all nucleic acids, the A/ T-rich double strand DNA significantly enhances fluorescence intensity Therefore,Hoechst dye can be used for living cell labeling. The fluorescence intensity of Hoechst dye increases with the increase of pH of solution.

Cell Assay
^[2]

Hoechst 33258 is prepared as stock solutions in highly pure water. Working solutions in a concentration range of 10^-3-10^-6 mol/dm³ are prepared prior to testing. Cytotoxic effects of Hoechst 33258 on tested cell lines are determined by the MTT assay. Cells are seeded in 96 micro well flat bottom plates at a concentration of 2×10⁴ cells/mL and left overnight in the CO₂ incubator allowing them to attach to the plate surface. Growing medium is replaced with compound supplemented or control medium and incubated for 72 h. Fresh medium with 5 mg/mL of MTT is added onto cells and incubated for 4 h at 37°C. Upon media removal, water insoluble MTT-formazan crystals formed inside the living cells are dissolved in DMSO and the absorbance at 570 nm proportional to the number of living cells is measured on an Elisa Microplate Reader. All experiments are performed at least three times in triplicates.The GI₅₀ value, defined as the compound concentration (μM) leading to cellular growth inhibition by 50%, is calculated and used as a parameter to compare cytotoxicity among the compounds^[2].

Help & FAQs

Do most proteins show cross-species activity?
Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
