ASFV Benin 97/1 Genotype I Propagation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Benin 97/1 genotype I (genome reference AM712239) virulent field isolate has been previously described (60 (link)). The Benin 97/1 isolate was cultured in PBMs in Earle's balanced salt solution (EBSS) (Sigma), supplemented with 4 mM Hepes, 10% heat-inactivated porcine serum (BioSera, France), 100 IU/mL penicillin, and 100 µg/mL streptomycin (61 (link)). Titration of the viruses was carried out by hemadsorption assay (presented as HAD50/mL) or by immunofluorescence using antibodies against ASFV early protein p30/CP204L (presented as TCID50/mL), calculated using the Spearman and Karber formula.

Fresh tumor specimens (0.3-4 mL) obtained from GC patients (Table 1) were disaggregated into single cell suspension in DMEM/F12 medium (Biosera, France) containing collagenase type I (Gibco, USD)
(300 U.mL-1), penicillin (Biosera) (500 U.mL-1), streptomycin (Biosera) (500 mg.mL-1), and amphotericin B (Biosera) (1.25 mg.mL-1) at 37 °C for 2 hr. The cells (1 × 105 cell.mL-1) were cultivated in epidermal growth factor (EGF) 20 ng.mL-1 (Gibco), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) 10 ng.mL-1 (Gibco), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) 10 ng.mL-1 (ProSpec, Israel), heparin 4 μg.mL-1 (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany), B-27 supplement 2% (Gibco), penicillin 100 U.mL-1, and streptomycin 100 μg.mL-1, and HEPES 8 mM (Biosera) in DMEM/F12 medium in T-25 ultra-low attachment flask (Corning, USA) at 37 °C for 1-2 months in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator to generate spheres.

Cytotoxic Effects of Compounds on Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two different human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), lung cancer cell line (A-549) and normal cell (Human Dermal Fibroblast) were purchased from Pasture Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran. The medium of RPMI 1640 (PAA, Germany) including sodium bicarbonate and N-hydroxyethylpiperazone-n-2-ethanesulfonic Acid (HEPES, Biosera, England) was used to maintain the cell lines. The medium was enriched with fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco, USA) and antibiotics. Then, incubated in air atmosphere enriched 5% CO2 at 37 °C. The cytotoxic activity of all fractions and compounds were examined by the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) assay.

Isolation and Characterization of Chemotherapy-Enriched Cancer Stem Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chemotherapy-enriched sphere-forming cells with cancer stem cell properties isolated from a 54-year-old male patient with GC (T3N0M0) were previously identi ed as described [22, (link)23] (link). The ethics committee of MUMS approved the investigation and written informed consent was acquired from patient (930607).
The cells were cultured in DMEM/F12 medium (Biosera, France) containing eight mM HEPES (Biosera), 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 µg/ml streptomycin, and 100 µg/ml gentamicin supplemented with 10% inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA) at 37°C in a humidi ed atmosphere containing 5% CO2 for ve days, with medium changed daily. Then the cells were subcultured every ve days for 250 days.

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.
