Critical Evaluation of the Interaction of Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species with Blood to Inform the Clinical Translation of Nonthermal Plasma Therapy

Figure 1

Experimental design to determine the stability of persistent ROS/RNS. (a) The mode of action of Eu.1 for detecting ONOO is shown. (b) PBS (blue), BP (yellow), and processed whole blood (red) were analyzed following direct and indirect NTP treatment. Following treatment, the sample was either analyzed immediately (0 s) or after a delay (between 30 and 300 s) for RNS, H2O2, or ONOO (μs-DBD: microsecond-pulsed dielectric barrier discharge; λex: excitation wavelength; λem: emission wavelength).
