Does anyone have experience measuring reactive oxygen intermediates(ROI) by flow with dihydrorhodamine 123? I'm helping a user of our Core facility with this assay. We are finding that untreated control L929 cells have over a log shift in green fluorescence (oxidation of DHR123 to Rh123) as compared to autofluorescence in unloaded cells, with only modest increase in green fluorescence in cells treated with compounds known to induce ROI production. The user is surprised at the high basal level of ROI in these cells. Doug Weidner UT MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, Texas
