Irinotecan

Manufactured by LC Laboratories
Sourced in Japan

Irinotecan is a chemical compound used in laboratory research and analysis. It is a topoisomerase I inhibitor, which means it disrupts the function of the enzyme topoisomerase I, an essential enzyme involved in DNA replication and transcription. Irinotecan is commonly used in cell culture and biochemical assays to study the effects of topoisomerase I inhibition on various cellular processes.

AZD7762 (Enzo, ENZ-CHM185-0005) from ENZO. Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (1X) (Cat# FC001), Mouse PE-IgG2a (R&D IC003p), and Human HLA Class I (MHC I) Phycoerythrin mAb (Clone W6/32) were purchased from R&D Systems. Unless indicated otherwise, the drugs were used at the following concentrations: CPT 0.5-1 µM; SM-7368 5 µM; irinotecan 25 µg/ml; VP-16 (Etoposide, LC laboratories) 25 µM; γ-IFN (Sigma) 50 ng/ml; VE822 (Selleckchem) 100 nM; AZD7762 100 nM, KU60019 at 1 µM; erlotinib (LC laboratories) 20 µM; oxaliplatin (Sigma) 10 µM; taxol (Sigma) 50 nM; 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU, Sigma) 10 µM. For experiments in this study, single drug concentrations were pre-determined based on the length of treatment (24–48 h) that induced the expression of target proteins without visibly killing the treated cells.

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.
