S Krüger-Krasagakes et al.
Journal of immunological methods, 156(1), 1-8 (1992-11-25)
In order to measure cell mediated cytotoxicity to adherent growing cell lines in vitro more rapidly and conveniently, a fluorometric microassay was developed and results were compared with those obtained by the 51Cr release assay. The fluorometric method is based

Applied and environmental microbiology, 55(9), 2424-2427 (1989-09-01)
The production of an enzyme, 4-methylumbelliferyl heptanoate hydrolase, in Escherichia coli exposed to enriched and nonenriched seawater was studied. In all media, except for seawater with no or very small amounts of organic material and seawater enriched with peptone, 4-methylumbelliferyl

Journal of immunological methods, 185(2), 199-208 (1995-09-25)
A fluorimetric method using 4-methylumbelliferyl heptanoate (MUH) has been developed for detecting cell-mediated cytotoxicity and cell proliferation. The assay is based on the hydrolysis of the fluorochrome (MUH) by intracellular esterases of viable cells resulting in the production of highly
E N Dotsika et al.
Journal of immunological methods, 105(1), 55-62 (1987-12-04)
A microplate method for assessing cell growth and viability based on the hydrolysis of fluorogenic substrates by cell esterases has been investigated. Living cells incubated with fluorescein diacetate or 4-methylumbelliferyl heptanoate generate a fluorescent product which is proportional to the

Melanoma research, 1(2), 91-95 (1991-06-01)
A simple, rapid and reproducible assay for the determination of melanoma cell proliferation in vitro is described, based on the hydrolysis of a fluorogenic substrate by cell esterases in the cytoplasm of living cells. Human melanoma cells were cultured at
