Product overview
Total Phospholipid Assay Kit (Cell-Based) (ab273294) offers a simple and robust method to label and visualize newly synthesized phospholipids in vivo. Based on the metabolic incorporation of the choline analogs directly into their structure, modified phospholipid molecules can be detected with high sensitivity and spatial resolution by click chemistry with azide-containing dyes (Ex/Em= 494/521 nm). This kit enables quantitative analyses of global biosynthesis/turnover of Cho-containing phospholipids in cells. Cells show strong incorporation of Cho analogs into all classes of phospholipids that can be assayed by microplate reader and fluorescence microscope. The kit provides sufficient materials for 100 assays.

Analysis of metabolic labeling of phospholipids in proliferating cells.
Jurkat cells (1X106 cells/well) were pre-treated with vehicle or cultured in presence of 1X Phospholipid Label for 24 hours at 37°C prior to 1 hour treatment with Phospholipase D and then processed for detection of according to the kit protocol.

Fluorescence Azide Curve of Jurkat cells prepared for this assay. Detection limit corresponds to about 31,250 of Jurkat cells per well. Your results may not be identical to these. A new curve must be obtained for each experiment and the cell line.
