Cytotoxicity Assays for MC^(cd34) and DC^(cd34) Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MCcd34 and DCcd34 cultures seeded at an initial density of 5 × 104 cells/ml in 48 well plates were treated with paraquat (Merck) or busulfan (Merck) for 24 h. Select treatments were also carried out with house dust mite soluble extracts (Stallergenes Greer, US). Cellular resazurin reduction and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into the media were used as measures of viability. cell culture media LDH content was indicative of necrotic cellular leakage and determined after centrifugation using a commercial kit (Merck; Cat# 4744926001) according to manufacturer's instructions. Resazurin reduction as a measure cellular and mitochondrial reductase activity was carried out as previously described (Meldrum et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, cells were washed in PBS and incubated 44 μM resazurin in cell culture media (Cat# R7017, Merck) for 1 h at 37C. Fluorescence was then detected at 540 nm excitation and 590 nm emission. Statistical significance compared to control values was carried out using one-way ANOVA and Fisher's LSD test in GraphPad Prism software Version 8.3.0 and results are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) unless otherwise stated.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
P815-HTR mouse mastocytoma line was obtained from ATCC. Cell culture media and chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, unless otherwise specified. The P815-HTR cells was grown in 100-mm culture dishes at 37 °C under a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air. The cells were maintained under culture conditions in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 20 µg/ml gentamicin and with or without added 4 mM L-glutamine (GLN).

Labeling Anti-Pgp Monoclonal Antibodies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell culture media, supplements and chemicals were from Sigma-Aldrich (Budapest, Hungary). Fluorescent dyes including calcein acetoxymethyl ester (calcein-AM), BODIPY FL vinblastine (vinblastine-bodipy; VBL-BPY) and Alexa 647 succinimidyl ester were purchased from Life Technologies, Inc. (Carlsbad, CA, USA). The UIC2 and 15D3 anti-Pgp mAbs were prepared from hybridoma supernatants using affinity chromatography and were >97% pure by SDS/PAGE. Hybridoma cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collections (Manassas, VA, USA). The UIC2 and 15D3 antibodies were labeled with Alexa 647 succinimidyl ester (A647) and separated from the unconjugated dye by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-50 column. The dye-to-protein labeling ratio was around 3 for each antibody preparation.

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.
