Assays

This assay is for method development to quantify intra- and extra-cellular metabolites on T. brucei 427 bloodstream form using isotope ratio based MS technique with 13C-labelled E. coli extract

Intracellular metabolites in T. brucei at different stage of cell growth have been quantified absolutely by isotope ratio based MS technique using uniformly 13C-labelled E. coli extract. This is the case study for method development of absolute quantification for metabolic flux analysis.

Metabolite profiling on T. brucei exposed to methylene blue has been carried out using LC-MS to investigate metabolic changes caused by oxidative stress

26 intracellular metabolites (amino acids, polyamines, TCA intermediates) in T. brucei exposed to methylene blue have been absolutely quantified using isotope ratio based MS technique.

26 intracellular metabolites (amino acids, polyamines, TCA intermediates) in T. brucei under pH stress (pH8.7) have been absolutely quantified using isotope ratio based MS technique.

Extracellular metabolites in T. brucei at different stage of cell growth have been quantified absolutely by isotope ratio based MS technique using uniformly 13C-labelled E. coli extract. This is the case study for method development of absolute quantification for metabolic flux analysis.
