CheKineā¢ Micro Superoxide anion Scavenging Capacity Assay Kit
Applications Notes
CheKineā¢ Micro Superoxide anion Scavenging Assay Kit provides a simple and easy colorimetric assay for the study of Superoxide anion Scavenging ability in tissue/cell lysates and other biological fluids. In this assay, superoxide anion (O2ļ¼) is provided by xanthine oxidase (XO) catalyzed reaction. O2ļ¼ reacts with a tetrazolium salt WST-8 dye to form a water-soluble colored formazan product, which can be easily quantified colorimetrically. Sample scavenges the O2ļ¼ thus less O2ļ¼ is available for the chromogenic reaction. This scavenging ability of sample is measured by colorimetric method at OD 450 nm.

Background | The superoxide anion (O2ļ¼) is a short-lived radical production by the addition of an electron to oxygen. It is formed in response to environmental factors such as UV light, cigarette smoke, environmental pollutants, and g-radiation, or derived from oxidases like xanthine oxidase or NADPH oxidase. Once formed, O2ļ¼ attacks cellular components and causes damage to lipids, proteins and DNA. This can initiate numerous diseases, including cancer, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, liver damage, and central nervous system disorders. The study of scavenging superoxide anion radicals has been gained more and more attention. |
