This assay is to provide B16F10-based In Vitro Reactive Nitrogen Species Assay (Oxidative Stress) to accelerate our client's oncology projects. The assay will be customized according to the specific requirements. Please contact our scientists to discuss more details.

B16F10

Mouse

B16F10 cell line (from Mus musculus C57BL/6J strain) is a convenient and widely used experimental model of highly metastatic melanoma to study cytotoxicity, migration, metastatic spread and tissue invasion. B16-F10 is a cell line exhibiting a morphology of spindle-shaped and epithelial-like cells that was isolated from skin tissue of a mouse with melanoma. Use these cells in your skin cancer research.

In Vitro Reactive Nitrogen Species Assay (Oxidative Stress)

B16F10-cell based In Vitro Reactive Nitrogen Species Assay (Oxidative Stress)

The production of reactive nitrogen species can also occur as a result of oxidative stress. Levels of nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-) can be measured in cell lysates, plasma and urine as an oxidative stress marker and several nitrate/nitrite assay kits have been developed to measure nitrite (NO2-) and nitrate (NO3-) levels.

Oxidative Stress Assays

Disturbance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), free radicals and antioxidant mechanisms is defined as the oxidative stress, or more precisely, it is an imbalance between the oxidant and antioxidant state in cells. This imbalance can cause harmful effects to cells and biomolecules, which ultimately causes adverse effects in the whole organism. Oxidative imbalance can target important proteinsand lipids in cells, which can increase the risk of developing a cancer. On the other hand, increased ROS production in cancer cells by certain cancer drugs can also arrest cancer cell cycle and cause senescence and apoptosis through oxidative stress.
