Universal mycoplasma test kit

The Universal Mycoplasma Test Kit is designed for the detection of mycoplasma contamination in cell cultures. The kit uses a PCR-based method to identify the presence of mycoplasma species. It provides a reliable and efficient way to assess the mycoplasma status of cell lines.

Generating Gp96-Ig Expressing Tumor Cell Line

Murine B16-F10 melanoma (CRL-6475), 4T1 metastatic mammary carcinoma (CRL-2539), and CT26 colon carcinoma (CRL-2638) cell lines were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), cultured according to manufacturer’s directions and tested for mycoplasma using the Universal Mycoplasma test kit (ATCC). For vaccination studies, CT26 mouse colon carcinoma cells used for transfection were maintained in Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Media (IMDM) supplemented with glutamine and 10% Fetal Bovine Serum. The CT26-gp96-Ig (ImPACT, Heat Biologics, North Carolina) cell line was generated by transfecting CT26 cells with a DNA plasmid expressing murine gp96-Ig using Effectene transfection reagents (Qiagen Hilden, Germany) according to manufacturer’s directions. Transfectants were selected with G418 and a single cell clone secreting a high-level of gp96-Ig was isolated by limiting dilution. Gp96-Ig levels were determined by ELISA. All cells were cultured 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.
