| Description | WST-8 is a water-soluble tetrazolium dye, and WST-8-based assays have higher sensitivity than traditional MTS-based assays. |
| In vitro | METHODS: A commonly used MTS-based assay was compared to a bioassay using the water-soluble tetrazolium dye WST-8 at a concentration of 7 × 10(5) cells/ml with 800 IU/ml PEGylated G-CSF at 24, 48, 72, and 72 h time points to determine the efficacy of PEGylated G-CSF. In addition, the optimized WST-8 dye-based assay was used to test the potency of various commercially available PEGylated G-CSF formulations. RESULTS The results demonstrated that the WST-8-based assay had greater sensitivity in determining the potency of PEGylated G-CSF using the NFS-60 cell line compared to the conventional MTS-based assay.[1] |
