Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lipids dissolved in chloroform were mixed at the desired molar ratio, and the solvent was evaporated by nitrogen gas. The lipid was hydrated with buffer B (20 mM HEPES pH 7.0 and 150 mM NaCl). After five freeze and thaw cycles with liquid nitrogen, liposomes were extruded through a mini-extruder (Avanti Polar Lipids) with 100 nm polycarbonate filter56 (link).

Sterol Loading of Oocytes and Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cholesterol (Sigma-Aldrich), NBD-Cholesterol (Avanti Polar Lipids, Alabaster, AL) or 7dehydroCholesterol (Sigma-Aldrich) loading was performed with custom synthetized sterolmethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (MβCD) complexes (CycloLab Cyclodextrin R&D Laboratory, Budapest, Hungary), with loading solutions containing 195µM sterol at room temperature for 60 min before the electrophysiological or microscopic experiments. For electrophysiology the sterol-MβCD complexes were dissolved in ND93, or for microscopy in the extracellular recording solution used in patch-clamp measurements (see below). For both cases after the incubation oocytes and cells were extensively washed with ND93 or the extracellular recording solution, respectively.

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.
