How to analyze the cell viability with peptides?

  1. Cells were seeded on 96-well culture plates (10000 cells/well) and incubated in 100 μL of DMEM containing 10% FBS.
  2. The medium was then replaced with fresh medium containing 10% FBS, and a peptide solution was added to each well at an appropriate concentration (for example 0.5uM, 1uM, 1.5uM, 2uM).
  3. After a 2-h incubation, Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Cell Counting Kit-8 allows sensitive colorimetric assays for determining cell viability in cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assays.
  4. Cell viability was evaluated by the absorbance of formazan from each well, and 100% cell viability was calculated from the wells without peptides.
  5. The results are the mean and standard deviation obtained from 5 samples.
