Dobutamine hydrochloride

Manufactured by Bio-Techne
Sourced in Sweden, United Kingdom

Dobutamine hydrochloride is a synthetic catecholamine used as a pharmaceutical drug. It is a positive inotropic agent, which means it increases the force of myocardial contraction. Dobutamine hydrochloride is commonly used in the treatment of heart conditions to improve cardiac output.

Preparing Cardiac Pharmacological Agents

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isoprenaline hydrochloride, atenolol and verapamil hydrochloride were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). Dobutamine hydrochloride, digoxin and flecainide acetate were purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Oxford, UK). Stock solutions (1–10 mM) of all compounds were made and were stored at −20 °C. digoxin and dobutamine were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to make the stock solution. The final concentration of DMSO during experimentation was less than 0.01%. Verapamil, atenolol, flecainide and isoprenaline were all dissolved in ultra-pure water to make the stock solution. All other reagents were purchased from either Sigma Aldrich (Dorset, UK) or Fisher Scientific (Loughborough, UK) unless stated otherwise.

OT-1 T Cell Cytotoxicity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Splenocytes were isolated from OT-1 mice (4–6 weeks old) and activated with 100 nM OVA peptide (257–264; GenScript) and 50 U ml–1 hIL-2 (PeproTech) for 48 h. After 48 h, fresh medium with 50 U ml–1 IL-2 was added to the culture and incubated for an additional 24 h. Cells were then collected, replated and expanded at 1 × 106 cells per ml.
For the specific cytotoxicity assay, tumor cells (target) were plated at 50,000 cells per well in a 24-well plate. OT-1 T cells (effector) were then added at a 1:5 target:effector ratio. Where indicated, GPCR agonists were added at the following concentrations: 1 μM 16,16-dimethyl PGE2 (Tocris), 5 μM dobutamine hydrochloride (Tocris) and 5 μM CGS-21680 hydrochloride (Tocris). The coculture was left for 36 h, and cell viability was assessed by flow cytometric staining with Zombie Aqua viability dye (BioLegend).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
