Conditions:
Thiazolyl Blue is a membrane-permeable yellow dye that is reduced by mitochondrial reductases in living cells to form the dark blue product. The net positive charge on Thiazolyl Blue appears to be the predominant factor involved in their cellular uptake via the plasma membrane potential. Thiazolyl Blue is used as a direct indicator of cytotoxicity (such as for screening cancer drugs), proliferation and apoptosis. Thiazolyl Blue is also an electron acceptor used for studying NADP-dependent dehydrogenases. Thiazolyl Blue reduction is associated not only with mitochondria, but also with the cytoplasm and with nonmitochondrial membranes including the endosome/lysosome compartment and the plasma membrane. Biological Applications: cell viability assay; microbial growth assays; DNA quantification assays; tissue viability assays; detecting enzymes; measuring membrane potential; treating Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, cancer. Because Thiazolyl Blue forms an insoluble formazan it has usually been applied in endpoint assays.
