HaCaT cells, a rapidly multiplying human keratinocyte line, were tested for their sensitivity to antipsoriatic dithranol with regard to classical proliferation parameters and for the drug's action on the plasma membrane integrity by the dose- and time-dependent release of cytosolic lactate dehydroge

β¦ Synopsis
This study reports the use of lactate dehydrogenase release to monitor changes in culture viability in flask culture and fixed bed, porosphere bioreactor systems. Lactate dehydrogenase release shows good agreement with increase in non-viable cell numbers and decline in glucose utilisation in flask cultures. Studies with the immobilised system show that lactate dehydrogenase release can detect loss of viability which is not always indicated by a decrease in glucose utilisation. The data show that culture viability in a repeated-feed-and-harvest system is influenced markedly by both a) the medium change regime itself and b) the use of an immobilised bioreactor compared to a flask system for the same medium change regime.

Automated assays of lactate dehydrogenase (LD) in serum are based on measuring the rate of NADH produced in a reverse LD reaction using lactate and NAD. The observed nonlinearity of LD reaction used in earlier assays performed in phosphate buffers has generally been attributed to the formation of a
