An Assay for Detecting Reactive Oxygen Species Production in Rice Tissues upon Immune Elicitation
0 Views •
2025
This video demonstrates an assay for real-time detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in rice tissues upon pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) elicitation. Cut sheath segments and leaf discs are exposed to a bacterial flagella-derived peptide functioning as a PAMP. Upon recognition of the peptide via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on plant cells, a rapid and transient production of ROS occurs, which is detected via a chemiluminescence assay.

Ubiquitination is a key posttranslational modification carried out by a set of three enzymes. Mutations of genes involved in this modification are associated with many different human diseases. Here, we describe protocols to detect protein ubiquitination in cultured cells in vivo and test tubes in vitro.

Detecting Reactive Oxygen Species

2023
Reactive oxygen species are chemically active, oxygen-derived molecules capable of oxidizing other molecules. Because of their reactive nature, there are many deleterious effects associated with unchecked ROS production, including structural damage to DNA and other biological molecules. However, ROS can also be mediators of physiological signaling. There is accumulating evidence that ROS play significant roles in everything from activation of transcription factors to the mediation of...
FAQs
L-012 functions as a luminol-based probe: reactive oxygen species oxidize the probe, producing emitted light. A sensitive detector or optical imaging system records this chemiluminescent output. Increased signal indicates greater oxidant generation under the defined assay conditions, allowing investigators to compare oxidative activity among activated immune cells, infected samples, or experimental treatment groups.
The measured light reflects ROS production under the specific conditions of the assay, rather than serving as an unconditional measure of total oxidant activity. Comparisons therefore require consistent experimental conditions across samples. When that consistency is maintained, differences in signal can support quantitative assessment of innate immune activation, pathogen-associated inflammation, or treatment-related changes.
Both approaches capture the light generated after L-012 oxidation, but they support different measurement formats. A sensitive light detector is suited to recording chemiluminescent output from an assay, whereas an optical imaging system can monitor signal in experimental samples or tissues. The choice depends on whether the study emphasizes quantitative measurement or spatial tracking of ROS-associated activity.
The workflow centers on exposing the experimental sample to the L-012 probe and recording the resulting chemiluminescent signal with a sensitive detector or optical imaging system. Signal levels are then compared across relevant samples or conditions. In infection and immunology studies, this enables assessment of ROS generation associated with immune activation, infected tissues, or experimental interventions.
This method is especially useful when researchers need to monitor oxidative bursts from activated phagocytes, examine inflammatory activity, or follow ROS production in infected tissues and experimental models. It can connect innate immune activation with pathogen-induced inflammation and provide a sensitive readout for comparing biological responses across experimental groups.
L-012 measurements support quantitative comparisons of ROS-associated activity rather than merely indicating whether inflammation is present. Researchers can evaluate differences in innate immune activation, pathogen-induced inflammatory responses, and the effects of antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory interventions. Changes in chemiluminescent output provide an experimental readout of altered oxidant generation under the assay conditions.
