Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess the effect of NVP-AEW451 on cell viability, parental and PLAG1-overexpressing WiT49 cells were seeded in four replicate wells of a 96-well plate at 3 × 103 cells per well. The next day, medium containing NVP-AEW541 (Selleck Chemicals) was added at concentrations ranging from 125 µM to 2 nM. After 72 h, the number of viable cells was quantified using CellTiter-Glo 2.0 (Promega). The IC50 was calculated using a nonlinear fit with variable slope (GraphPad Prism). Data are presented as IC50 in micromolar (95% confidence interval).
To assess the effect of NVP-AEW451 on S6 phosphorylation, parental WiT49- and PLAG1L-overexpressing cells were each seeded in three wells of a six-well plate at 2.5 × 105 cells per well. The next day, cells were treated with either 0.02% DMSO for 6 h or 5 µM NVP-AEW541 (Selleck Chemicals) for 3 or 6 h. The cells were then harvested for protein lysate and used for immunoblotting.

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.
