Popis: Summary Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important physiological molecules, and identifying agonists for ROS production can yield useful tools for future research. Here we present an optimized protocol for high-throughput screening for agonists that induce ROS production. We describe the use of a fluorescent probe in human vascular endothelial cells, which can establish whether ROS production occurs in mitochondria or in the plasma membrane of live cells. For complete details on the use and execution of this profile, please refer to Sasahara et al. (2021).

Highlights • This is a high-throughput screening protocol for agonists that induce ROS production • ROS production in human endothelial cells is identified by fluorescence imaging • This reveals whether ROS production occurs in mitochondria or plasma membrane
