Oxidative stress resulting in the formation of biological radicals has been implicated in a number of human diseases, such as cancer and aging. There is, however, a paucity of reliable methods for
in vivo or
ex vivo detection of radical formation. Until now the only general technique that allowed for the detection of these highly reactive species was electron spin resonance (ESR) using spin traps. One of the most popular of these spin traps is 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO).
In the ESR method, radicals are trapped by DMPO, and the DMPO spin adduct signal is measured quantitatively by an ESR spectrometer. The DMPO, mAb (1) (Prod. No. ALX-803-340) specifically reacts with DMPO-protein and DMPO-DNA adducts and therefore highly simplifies the detection of radical formation compared to the ESR method.
