Collagenase l

Manufactured by Merck Group

Collagenase L is a laboratory enzyme used for the digestion of collagen, a structural protein found in various tissues. It is a complex of enzymes that work together to break down collagen into smaller peptides. The core function of Collagenase L is to facilitate the isolation and extraction of cells from collagen-rich environments, such as connective tissues, for further biological research and experimentation.

Implantation sites were harvested as described above. Each site was cut into 12 pieces and placed in RPMI 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS). These pieces were digested in RPMI containing 5% FBS, 300 μg/ml collagenase F (Sigma-Aldrich), 200 μg/ml collagenase L (Sigma-Aldrich), 500 μg/ml Dispase (Gibco), and 2 U/ml DNase-1 (Roche) at 37°C for 30 to 45 min with a magnetic stir bar for agitation. Cells were passed over a 70 μm strainer (BD) to create a single cell suspension. Implantation sites were washed in DPBS, 1% FBS, 25 mM EDTA. Cells were stained for FACS with anti-CD45 (30-F11, BD), anti-CD11b (M1/70, BD), anti-Gr-1 (RB6-8C5, BD), and rabbit anti-Crry followed by a donkey anti-rabbit DyLight 488 (Jackson ImmunoResearch). Blocking for FACS was carried out employing DPBS, 1% FBS, 25 mM EDTA with 5% donkey serum and 5% mouse serum. Cells were examined employing a FACScan (BD) retrofitted with a Cytek Upgrade.

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.
