Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells from ten non-erupted open-apex teeth donated from patients aged 18 to 20 years, after signing the consent form, were used. Patients with third molars presenting carious lesions, fractures or periodontal disease were not invited to the study. After extraction, the teeth were placed in a Falcon tube containing 10 mL of Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium—DMEM (Gibco®, Grand Island, NY, USA), with 200 µL of amphotericin B fungizone (Sigma Aldrich®, St. Louis, USA) and 10 µL of gentamicin (Sigma Aldrich®). The set was transported to the university laboratory and cultured within 2 h of extraction. Cells were cultured using the explant technique66 (link). Dental pulp was removed and washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The pulp was sectioned with a scalpel blade and transferred to a 6-well plate in DMEM high glucose (25 mM) medium (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 50 U mL−1 penicillin (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA), 50 µg mL−1 streptomycin (Gibco) and 20% fetal bovine serum (Gibco). Confluent cells were subcultured in DMEM medium supplemented with antibiotics and 10% fetal bovine serum. Cell cultures between the 3rd and 6th passages were used for cell viability experiments, cell morphology, migration, and proliferation. Pulp cells between the 3rd and 4th passage were used for odontogenic differentiation assays67 (link).

3.5 x 10 5 chondrocyte cells were resuspended in 5ml high glucose DMEM (4500 mg/L) (Sigma Aldrich, UK), supplemented with FCS 10% v/v (Promocell, UK), 2.5 mM U/ml L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 0.1 mg/ml streptomycin and 1μg Amphotericin B (Fungizone) (Sigma Aldrich, UK), and assigned as control. The cell suspension was seeded in a 25cm² cell culture flask and incubated at 37ºC until 70-80% confluency. 50μl of prepared TGF-β3 was added to another chondrocyte cell suspension with the same volume and cell density as control to make a concentration of 10ng/ml TGF-β3. After 12 hours the non-attached cells were removed, fresh media were added to both control and TGF-β3 contained culture flasks. Every 24 hours the process of confluency was microstructurally analysed and imaged by light microscope. The cell length of 270 randomly selected cells were measured for analysis, and culture flasks were incubated again at 37°C until full confluency.

Zika Virus Strains Propagation in Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ZIKV strains were provided by WHO collaborating Center at the Institute Pasteur of Dakar in Senegal. The monkey strain MR766 and the human strain HD78788 were isolated in 1947 (in Uganda) and 1991 (in Senegal) in Africa, respectively, during surveillance. Viral stocks were prepared by inoculating viral strains into Aedes pseudoscutellaris clone 61 (AP61) monolayer. Cells were grown in cell culture flasks (25 cm2) until they reached a confluence of approximately 80%. The medium was discarded, and 150 µl virus solution was added to the cells. The flasks were gently agitated every 15 min during incubation to enhance viral infection. After 1 h, 5 ml of Leibovitz 15 (L-15) growth medium (GibcoBRL, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 5% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (GibcoBRL, Grand Island, NY, USA), 10% Tryptose Phosphate 1% glutamine, 1% penicillinstreptomycin, 0.05% amphotericin B [Fungizone] (Sigma, Gmbh, Germany) was added and the infected cells were incubated at 28°C without CO2 until a cytopathic effect was observable.. Viral infection was confirmed by an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) using specific hyper-immune mouse ascitic fluid, as described previously (Digoutte et al., 1992) .

The primary sarcoma cell lines (AA, AX, AW, BC, BD, BG, CE, and CP0024) used in this study were previously characterized.29 (link),41 (link),61 (link),73 (link) A673, Saos-2, SK-UT-1, 93T449, HT-1080, and SW872 were commercial sarcoma cell lines. AA, AW, BC, BD, BG, and CE cells were maintained as a subconfluent monolayer in F-10 medium (Sigma). AX, Saos-2, SK-UT-1, 93T449, HT-1080, and SW872 were cultured using DMEM (Sigma), while A673 and CP0024 were maintained in RPMI (Sigma). Other characteristics of each cell line appear in Supplementary Data Table S5. All media were supplemented with 10% FBS, penicillin–streptomycin antibiotics (Sigma) and Fungizone (Amphotericin B, Sigma) as previously described.29 (link),41 (link),61 (link),73 (link) All cell lines were authenticated and regularly tested for mycoplasma. AA cell line, transfected to overexpress MAP17, and AX cell line, transfected with a shRNA against MAP17, were previously described50 (link) and maintained in complete DMEM media supplemented with puromycin 0.5 μg ml−1.

The mouse corticotrope tumor cell line AtT-20, secreting adrenocorticotropic hormone [30 (link),31 (link)], was kindly provided by Dr. Ulrich Renner and Prof. Dr. Günter K. Stalla from the Clinical Neuroendocrinology Group, Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Germany. The rat Wistar-Furth pituitary tumor cell line GH3, secreting growth hormone and prolactin [32 (link)], was obtained from the Cell Bank of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The cell lines were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified culture medium that was supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, antibiotics (100 U/mL penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin, LGC Biotechnology, São Paulo, Brazil), and 5 mg/mL fungizone (amphotericin B) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) at 37 °C and 5% CO2.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary normal human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells were harvested from donor eyes (n = 4) obtained from the Liverpool Research Eye Bank and approved by the local ethics review board (RETH000833). Samples were handled in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Eyes were obtained from the Royal Liverpool University Hospital Mortuary and medical history was unknown; although no donor had previous ocular surgery or a known diagnosis of glaucoma. Donor information is listed in Supplemental Figure S1. Donor eyes were excluded if the maximum post-mortem time exceeded 48 h and HTM cells were isolated using the blunt dissection method as reported previously [24 (link)]. Cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Media (DMEM)-low glucose (Sigma, Gillingham, UK) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Biosera, Heathfield, UK), 2 mM L-glutamine (Sigma, Gillingham, UK), Pen/Step (Sigma, Gillingham, UK), and 2.5 µg/mL Fungizone (amphotericin B, Sigma, Gillingham, UK). Samples were incubated at 37 °C (5% CO2 and 95% humidity). HTM characterisation was carried out as previously described [24 (link)] and included upregulated myocilin protein expression in response to dexamethasone treatment (polyclonal rabbit anti-myocilin primary antibody was a kind gift from Dr. W. Daniel Stamer) as previously described by our group [25 (link)].

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.
