Glutamine

Manufactured by Quality Biological
Sourced in United States

Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. It serves as a primary fuel source for rapidly dividing cells, such as those found in the intestine and immune system. Glutamine also acts as a precursor for the synthesis of other important biomolecules, including glutathione and nucleic acids. This versatile amino acid is essential for maintaining cellular function and homeostasis.

A549, A549DKO (with PKR and RNase L knocked out), A549-EF1α-Gluc, and A549DKO-EF1α-Gluc cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s minimal essential medium (DMEM; Quality Biological) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Peak Serum), 2 mM glutamine (Quality Biological), 100 U/ml of penicillin (Quality Biological), and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Quality Biological). The cells were grown under 5% CO2 at 37°C. A549 and A549DKO were kind gifts from Dr. Bernard Moss [43 (link)]. A549-EF1α-Gluc and A549DKO-EF1α-Gluc were generated in this study.
All VACVs used in this study are based on VACV Western Reserve (WR) strain (ATCC VR-1354). vD9muD10mu, vD10mu, vΔD10, vΔD9, vD9mu, vΔA23, and vRO-G8R were kind gifts from Dr. Moss [37 (link)-40 (link)]. Wild type (WT) VACV, vD10mu, vΔD10, vΔD9, vD9mu, and vD9muD10mu were prepared and titrated as described elsewhere [22 (link), 40 (link), 48 ].
VACV infection was carried out using DMEM containing 2.5% FBS. Virus was sonicated and diluted according to desired MOI. Medium containing viruses was added to the cultured cells and incubated at 37°C for 1 h and replaced with fresh medium.

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.
