Sk br 3 cells

Sourced in United States

SK-BR-3 cells are a human breast cancer cell line derived from the pleural effusion of a 43-year-old Caucasian female with metastatic breast adenocarcinoma. The cells are adherent and exhibit an epithelial-like morphology. They express the HER2/ERBB2 receptor protein and are commonly used for research purposes.

Cell Viability Determination by Automated Counter

A Countess
II Automated Cell
Counter (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to check cellular viability.
SK-BR-3 cells (ATCC) were incubated with 1 mL of PtAmi at different
concentrations (1–100 nM in medium) for 12, 24, and 48 h in
35 mm diameter dishes. After incubation, a SK-BR-3 cell suspension
for each concentration was prepared, and 10 μL of 0.4% trypan
blue stain was added to 10 μL of each suspension. Then, 10 μL
of the sample mixture at each concentration was loaded onto a sample
slide, and these were inserted into the cell counter to obtain the
percentage of live cells (cellular viability).

Matrigel matrix (Corning, NY, USA, cat# 354234) and ECM gel (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, cat# E1207), both of which can support the cells to form spheroids on the gel, were prepared according to the manufacturers’ instructions. Briefly, vials of aliquoted Matrigel or ECM gel stored in at −20 °C were thawed on ice and the liquid Matrigel or ECM gel was immediately applied to 12-well (about 400 µL per well) or 6-well plates (about 600 µL per well). The dishes were incubated at 37 °C for 30 min until the Matrigel or ECM gel was polymerized.

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.
