Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) | Released into the extracellular space when cell membranes are damaged, indicating cytotoxicity or cell lysis. |
MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) Assay to measure cellular metabolic activity and viability. | Promotes inflammation and stimulates the production of acute-phase proteins in response to infection or injury. |
Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1a) | Triggers systemic inflammation by activating NF-κB signaling and inducing apoptosis in affected cells. |
Inflammatory Cytokine (Interleukin-6 [IL-6]) | Measures degranulation of basophils, which release histamine and other mediators in response to allergens, indicating allergic potential. |
Inflammatory Cytokine Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFa) | Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a central role in inflammation, immune system regulation, and the induction of cell death (apoptosis). |
