| In Vitro | BODIPY-cholesterol assay To prepare a stock solution of BODIPY-cholesterol for this assay, the analogue is reconstituted in DMSO to a stock concentration of 1-10 μM[1]. Cells diluted with PBS (or other buffers) are washed (300×g, 10 min) to remove excess diluent and the loose pellet resuspended with vehicle media to a proper concentration[1]. Cell suspensions are labeled with BODIPY-cholesterol (final concentration of 0.5-5 µM), mixed thoroughly and incubated for 10 -20 mins at 37 °C[1]. The cells are diluted with each of the capacitation media conditions as outlined in Incubation media to a final concentration and incubated for 2 h prior to flow cytometric assessment[1]. |
