K562 cells could not be cultured without 10% FCS, and were treated using above mentioned compounds in phenol red free RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FCS. After treatment, the media was collected for measuring secreted lipids, and the cells were washed with sterile PBS (3X) and harvested for enzyme activity or lipid measurements. The samples were either processed immediately or flash frozen in liquid N2 and stored at −80 °C until further use.

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.
