<meta name="description" content="This document describes a protocol for quantitative determination of nitrite (NO2&minus;), a stable oxidative end-product of the antimicrobial effector molecule nitric oxide in cell culture medium [1, 2]. The protocol is used to evaluate the capability of nanomaterials to induce nitric oxide production by macrophages. Nitric oxide secreted by macrophages has a half-life of seconds and interacts with a number of different molecular targets, resulting in cytotoxicity. In the presence of oxygen and water, nitric oxide interacts with itself to generate other reactive nitrogen oxide intermediates and ultimately decomposes to form nitrite (NO2&minus;) and nitrate (NO3&minus;). Interestingly, despite expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an enzyme responsible for the generation of nitric oxide in both human and mouse immune cells, the induction of nitric oxide by immunologically active agonists (e.g., bacterial lipopolysaccharide) and the levels of produced nitric oxide are different between human and mouse immune cells [3]. The response in human immune cells, especially under in vitro conditions is substantially lower than in murine cells. For this reason, a murine macrophage cell line is a better model for in vitro analysis of nitric oxide production than human monocytes and macrophages.">

Introduction</h2><p>This document describes a protocol for quantitative determination of nitrite (NO<sub>2</sub><sup>&#x02212;</sup>), a stable oxidative end-product of the antimicrobial effector molecule nitric oxide in cell culture medium [<a class="bibr" href="#ncipr65.ref1" rid="ncipr65.ref1">1</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#ncipr65.ref2" rid="ncipr65.ref2">2</a>]. The protocol is used to evaluate the capability of nanomaterials to induce nitric oxide production by macrophages. Nitric oxide secreted by macrophages has a half-life of seconds and interacts with a number of different molecular targets, resulting in cytotoxicity. In the presence of oxygen and water, nitric oxide interacts with itself to generate other reactive nitrogen oxide intermediates and ultimately decomposes to form nitrite (NO<sub>2</sub><sup>&#x02212;</sup>) and nitrate (NO<sub>3</sub><sup>&#x02212;</sup>). Interestingly, despite expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an enzyme responsible for the generation of nitric oxide in both human and mouse immune cells, the induction of nitric oxide by immunologically active agonists (e.g., bacterial lipopolysaccharide) and the levels of produced nitric oxide are different between human and mouse immune cells [<a class="bibr" href="#ncipr65.ref3" rid="ncipr65.ref3">3</a>]. The response in human immune cells, especially under in vitro conditions is substantially lower than in murine cells. For this reason, a murine macrophage cell line is a better model for in vitro analysis of nitric oxide production than human monocytes and macrophages.</p></div><div id="ncipr65.s2"><h2 id="_ncipr65_s2_">2. Principles</h2><p>In this assay, nitrite is measured in tissue culture medium using the Griess reagent. This measurement provides a surrogate marker and quantitative indicator of nitric oxide production. The murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 is used as the model in this assay. The upper and the lower limit of quantification are 250 &#x003bc;M and 1.95 &#x003bc;M of nitrate, respectively.</p></div><div id="ncipr65.s3"><h2 id="_ncipr65_s3_">3.
