B27 (50×) is a cell culture supplement used in the maintenance and differentiation of neural cells. It provides a defined, serum-free, and animal-component-free formulation that supports the growth and viability of a variety of neural cell types. The B27 supplement is typically used at a 1× final concentration in cell culture media.

A total of 500 cells transfected with siRNA for 72 h were seeded into low-adhesion 96-well plates in serum-free epithelial basal medium supplemented with B27 (50×) (GIBCO, Life Technologies Corporation, New York, NY, USA), 20 ng/mL EGF (PeproTech Inc., Cranbury, NJ, USA), and 20 ng/mL FGF (PeproTech Inc., Cranbury, NJ, USA) in each well. Fresh microsphere medium was regularly added for supplementary nutrients. Finally, we counted the spheres under a microscope after incubation for 7 days. These experiments were performed in triplicate.

Culturing Glioblastoma Stem Cells and Normal Astrocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Normal human astrocytes (NHA) were purchased from ScienceCell Research Laboratories (USA) and cultured in Astrocyte Medium (ScienCell Research Laboratories, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Welgene, Korea). GBM patient-derived GSC11 and GSC23 were obtained from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.22 (link) GSCs were maintained using neurobasal medium (NBE, serum-free Neurobasal media supplemented with basic FGF and EGF). NBE conditions were as follows: Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM)/F12 (Welgene) was supplemented with 2% B27 (50×) (Gibco), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Welgene), epidermal growth factor (EGF; 20 ng/mL; R&D Systems, USA), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF; 20 ng/mL; R&D Systems). Serum-free conditions were as follows: Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM)/F12 (Welgene) was supplemented with 5% UltraGROTM–Advanced Cell Culture Supplement (AventaCell) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Welgene).

3D In Vitro Gastric Cancer Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate a 3D in vitro model of GC, harvested tissues were washed with PBS and cut into pieces of 0.8–1.2 mm in diameter. Tumors were transferred into 6-well plates (4–6 tissues per well, with 6 wells for each group). Each well was maintained with 1 mL of culture medium. The full medium was supplemented with advanced DMEM/F12 (Gibco,), B-27 (50×, Gibco), and antibiotic-antimycotic solution (Gibco). The tissues were cultured in a humidified incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2.

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.
