For analyzing cellular toxicity in neurons
Neurons were treated with 50 uM glutamate for 1 hour. To assess the neuronal viability, neurons were incubated with calcein-AM (2 uM), and ethidium homodimer (4 uM) in HEPES buffer for 45-60 min at 37 degrees, rinsed with HEPES 4-5 times and examined under an epifluorescence microscope. This assay clearly distinguished live cells stained positive for calcein (green) from the dead cells stained positive for ethidium homodimer (red).
