Upon verification, the laboratory has not characterized the biological activity of SAE0089. However, it is known to be reversibly inactivated by oxidation, where the active form is present in a reduced format. Therefore, just prior to application, one could activate it by incubation with DTT for about 15 minutes at 37 degrees Celsius.

General description
Streptolysin O (SLO) is an immunogenic, oxygen-labile toxin, hemolytic exotoxin which is reversibly activated by dithiothreitol. [1] It is released into the extracellular medium along with other toxins, including streptolysin S, during the growth of most strains of group A and many strains of groups C and G Streptococci. [1,2] SLO and Streptolysin S differ from each other in that SLO is immunogenic and oxygen-labile while Streptolysin S is oxygen-stable, nonimmunogenic and only active when associated with a carrier protein.[3] The hemolytic activity of SLO is mediated by formation of multimeric nanopores in cholesterol containing lipid membranes.
SLO may be used for cell permeabilization or hemolysis. The susceptibility of hemolysis by SLO varies significantly for erythrocytes from different animal species.[1] Permeabilization of cells using SLO has been performed on multiple cell types and for various applications. For instance it has been used to introduce antisense oligonucleotides into cultured eukaryotic cells;[3] to investigate the effect of guanine nucleotide analogues on phosphatidylinositol metabolism and protein kinase C (PKC) activation in live human T lymphocytes;[4] to monitor cholesterol oxidation within a membrane lipid bilayer; [5] and to label proteins inside living cells using external fluorophores.[6]

Application
Permeabilizes membranes to permit cellular uptake of large or charged molecules.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Thiol-activated toxin that permeabilizes animal cell membranes. The protein binds as a monomer to membrane cholesterol and subsequently polymerizes into large arc- and ring-shaped structures surrounding pores of >12 nm.
Thiol-activated toxin that permeabilizes animal cell membranes..

I purchased SAE0089 (streptolysin o). I see in many protocols and one of your datasheets that Streptolysin o should be treated with 10 mM dithiothreitol before using it. However, I don't see that indication anywhere for SAE0089. Do I still need to treat it with DTT?
