TLR-Agonist Stimulation of Immune Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SCC24, SCC90, SCC72, SCC89 were stimulated with various concentrations of lipopolysaccharide (LPS: a non-specific TLR4 agonist) from Escherichia coli 0111:B4 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), lipopolysaccharide ultra-pure (LPS-UP: a specific TLR4 agonist) from E. coli (In vivo Gen, San Diego, California, USA), and peptidoglycan from Staphylococcus aureus (PGN: a TLR2 agonist) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). For ELISA, cells were stimulated with 0.01–1 µg/mL of LPS; 0.01-1 µg/mL of LPS-UP and 0.1–10 µg/mL of PGN [25 (link), 56 (link)]. For qPCR and Western blot, cells were stimulated with 1 µg/mL of LPS or LPS-UP or PGN. All incubations were undertaken in a humidified incubator (5% CO2) at 37°C for 24 h. Experiments were undertaken using triplicate biological repeats.

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.
