Product Description
H2DCFDA (DCFH-DA) is a cell-penetrating/penetrable probe (Ex/Em=488/525 nm) for detecting intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Targets
Probe to detect intracellular ROS
ln Vitro
Use guide (this is our suggested plan; it should be adjusted to meet your individual needs; it is merely a guide).
1. To prepare a 10 mM extraction solution, dissolve H2DCFDA in DMSO. Then, extract again before to usage.
2. After staining the cells for 30 minutes at 37°C in the dark with PBS solution containing 5 μM H2DCFDA and 0.05% trypsin-EDTA solution, the cells were suspended in new culture medium and subjected to an instant flow cytometry analysis.
3. If required, employ the H2DCFDA probe in conjunction with the ROS-insensitive fluorescein dye DCFDA modifier as an improved control. The staining process is identical to that of H2DCFDA [1].
ln Vivo
Results: Our studies identify that; (1) frequencies and absolute numbers of DCs in the spleen and BM are altered on day 3 and day 7 after TBI; (2) surface expression of key molecules involved in antigen presentation of DCs were affected on day 3 and day 7 after TBI; (3) distribution and functions of tissue-specific DC subsets of both circulatory and lymphatic systems were imbalanced following TBI; (4) early differentiation program of DCs, especially the commitment of hematopoietic stem cells to common DC progenitors (CDPs), were deregulated after TBI; and (5) intracellular ROS levels were reduced in DC progenitors and differentiated DCs on day 3 and day 7 after TBI.[2]
Conclusions: Our data demonstrate, for the first time, that TBI affects the distribution pattern of DCs and induces an imbalance among DC subsets in both lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs. In addition, the current study demonstrates that TBI results in reduced levels of ROS in DCs on day 3 and day 7 after TBI, which may explain altered DC differentiation paradigm following TBI. A deeper understanding on the molecular mechanisms that contribute to DC defects following TBI would be essential and beneficial in treating infections in patients with acute central nervous system (CNS) injuries, such as TBI, stroke and spinal cord injury.[2]
Enzyme Assay
Staining Example 1:
H2DCFDA (DCFH-DA) is a ROS production probe with green fluorescence.
1. Remove the cell culture medium and replaced by fresh medium containing H2DCFDA and incubated with cultured cells for 30 min.
2. Wash cells with PBS for three times.
3. Use a confocal laser scanning microscopy to detect the intracellular ROS generation.
Staining Example 2:
1. Testing cells are seeded into a 6-well microplate at a density of 105/well and cultured overnight at 37°C in 5% CO2. Fresh medium with 50 μg/mL of different materials is added to each well and cultured for 16 h.
2. Wash cells with PBS and stain cells with H2DCFDA (20 μM; 1 h; 37°C; dark).
3. Cells are trypsinized, washed, resuspended in PBS (0.2 mL), analyzed by a flow cytometer and use a confocal laser scanning microscopy (FV1000, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) for image.
Staining Example 3:
1. Wash cultured cells with PBS for three times.
2. Treat testing cells with H2DCFDA in culture medium for 0.5 h in a cell incubator.
3. Use a confocal laser scanning microscopy (Olympus, FV3000) for image. Cells are analyzed on a BD LSRI Fortessa flow cytometer analyzer to quantify results.
Cell Assay
Guidelines (The following is our recommended method, which only provides guidelines and should be modified according to your specific needs).
1.1 Preparation of stock solution
Prepare 5 mM of H2DCFDA stock solution with anhydrous DMSO.
Note: H2DCFDA stock solution is recommended to be stored in the dark at -20 ℃ or -80 ℃ after aliquot.
1.2 Preparation of working solution
Dilute the stock solution with preheated serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to prepare 1-10 μ M H2DCFDA working solution.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of H2DCFDA working solution according to your specific needs, and prepare it as needed.
2. Cell staining (suspended cells)
2.1 Centrifuge and collect cells, wash twice with PBS for 5 minutes each time. The cell density is 1 × 106/mL.
2.2 Add 1 mL of dye working solution and incubate at room temperature for 5-30 minutes.
2.3 400 g, centrifuge for 3-4 minutes, discard the supernatant.
2.4 Add PBS to wash cells twice, each time for 5 minutes.
After resuspending cells in 1 mL serum-free medium or PBS, observe using a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometry.
3. Cell staining (adherent cells)
3.1 Cultivate adherent cells on sterile cover slips.
3.2 Remove the cover glass from the culture medium and remove excess culture medium.
3.3 Add 100 μ L of dye working solution, gently shake to completely cover the cells, and incubate for 5-30 minutes.
3.4 Remove the dye working solution, wash 2-3 times with culture medium for 5 minutes each time, and observe using a fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer.
Note: If flow cytometry detection is required, the cells need to be digested and resuspended with trypsin before staining.
Animal Protocol
Long bones, spleen, peripheral lymph nodes (pLNs), mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs), liver, lungs, skin and blood were collected from mice with either moderate-level cortical impact (CCI) or sham on day 1, day 3 or day 7 after TBI. Bone marrow cells were isolated from the tibias and femurs of hind limb through flushing. Tissues were digested with Collagenase-D and DNase I. Skin biopsies were digested in the presence of liberase + DNase I. Single cell suspensions were made, red blood cells were lysed with Ammonium chloride (Stem Cell Technology) and subsequently filtered using a 70 μM nylon mesh. DC subsets of the tissues and DC progenitors of the BM were identified through 10-color flow cytometry-based immunophenotyping studies. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were identified through H2DCFDA staining.[2]

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
