From: Strong increase in the autofluorescence of cells signals struggle for survival
Sodium hypochlorite-induced autofluorescence increase in eukaryotic cells. Yeast and human cells were treated with sodium hypochlorite and their autofluorescence was assessed by flow cytometry (λex 488/λem 525/20 nm). (a) S. cerevisiae SK1 strain. (b) HeLa human cervical cancer cells. Non-treated (blue). Sodium hypochlorite 0.08% (green), 0.16% (violet), 0.32% (red). S. cerevisiae was treated with 0.08% sodium hypochlorite for 1, 2 and 3 hours, while HeLa cells were treated with sodium hypochlorite for 1 hour. The asterisk represents significant differences relative to the non-treated controls according to the unpaired t-test; p value < 0.05. Each value represents the mean (+/−standard error) of the median values of three independent experiments.
