Template:SUIT text D004

The SUIT-001 O2 ce-pce D004 protocol is the reference protocol 1 (RP1) specifically for PBMCs (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells) and PLTs (platelets). The main difference between the RP1 for PBMCs and PLTs and RP1 for other mitochondrial preparations (see SUIT-001) is the absence of Oct in the case of blood cells. The SUIT-001 O2 ce-pce D004 protocol in combination with SUIT-002 O2 ce-pce D007a is specially designed to provide a common reference for comparison of respiratory control of PBMC and platelets cells (non-permeabilized cells must be added to the chambers and then permeabilized as a part of the protocol) in a wide variety of species. SUIT-001 O2 ce-pce D004 gives information of ROUTINE respiration (ce: non-permeabilized cells) and after the plasma membrane permeabilization (pce: permeabilized cells) of the linear coupling control (L- P- E) with NADH linked-substrates (PM). Moreover, the pathway control in ET state (N, NS, S and SGp pathways) can be evaluated by using this SUIT protocol. SUIT-001 O2 ce-pce D004 can be extended with the CIV assay module.
