A. Prior, University of Liverpool, UK. Mouse anti-β-actin (antibody 4) was from MP Biomedicals (Santa Ana, CA), and peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG; catalogue number 111-035-003) from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories (West Grove, PA). Immobilized Protein A and GammaBind-Sepharose were from GE Healthcare (Little Chalfont, UK).

ES-2 human ovarian cancer cells (CRL1978; American Type Culture Collection) were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), penicillin (25 μg/ml), streptomycin (40 μg/ml), and glutamine (5 mM), all from Biological Industries. Caov3 cells (HTB75; American Type Culture Collection) were grown in DMEM supplemented with 20% FCS, 1 mM sodium pyruvate. and the medium supplements mentioned earlier. ES-2-Dab2 cells were generated from ES-2 cells by stable expression of a myc-tagged rat Dab2 (p82) construct mutated at Asp 227 to Ser to better resemble the human protein. They were maintained in the same growth medium as ES-2 supplemented with puromycin (2 ng/ml) and neomycin (1.5 mg/ml).
Transient transfections were carried out using jetPRIME (Polyplus, Illkirch, France).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary osteoblasts were isolated from mice calvariae as previously described [36 (link)]. All procedures were approved by the Ethics Committee for Animal Experimentation of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Briefly, the calvariae were dissected from P1–P4 pups, and soft tissue was discarded. A total of five to eight calvariae were pooled and digested in α-Minimum Essential Medium Eagle Alpha Modification (α-MEM; SIGMA, St. Louis, MO, USA, M8042) containing trypsin (0.025%)/collagenase II (1 mg/mL; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA, 17101015). The product of the first 5 minutes of digestion was discarded, while the product of a double 20-minute digestion was centrifuged and seeded on 60 mm culture plates. Cells were used between passages 1 to 4. Osteoblasts were cultured at 37 ºC in osteogenic media ((α-MEM with 10% FBS (Biological Industries, 04-007-1A), 2 mM glutamine (Biological Industries, 03-020-1B), 1 mM pyruvate (Biological Industries, 03-042-1B), 100 U/mL penicillin and 0.1 mg/mL streptomycin (Biological Industries, 03-031-1B), 50 µg/mL ascorbic acid and 4 mM β-glycerophosphate).

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.
