Abstract

Extracellular flux assays are conducted using seahorse XF96 analyzer. They are used to calculate oxygen consumption rate which is to determine mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and extracellular acidification rate which is a measure of glycolysis. Collectively, these assays are used to assess the metabolic phenotype of a cell. Up to four drugs can be loaded and tested in the XF cartridges used in the assay and their effect on cells could be determined. While adherent cell lines are easy to use for this assay, suspension cultures or primary cells are difficult to use. In the following sections, we describe the methodology for this assay for CLL cells in suspension cultures and CLL-stroma cocultures.
