Bromelain from pineapple stem

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Germany

Bromelain is a mixture of enzymes derived from the stem of pineapples (Ananas comosus). It exhibits proteolytic activity, which means it can break down proteins. Bromelain is commonly used as a laboratory reagent for various applications, such as protein digestion and cell culture studies.

A cysteine protease inhibitor (E64) and uricase from Arthrobacter globiformis were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Endotoxin-free OVA [<0.5 endotoxin unit (EU)/mg protein] was purified from specific pathogen-free chicken eggs under sterile conditions. Recombinant mouse IL-33 (Ser109-Ile266, <0.01 EU/μg protein) was purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN). Monosodium urate (MSU) crystals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, suspended in PBS at 20 mg/ml, and sonicated for 20 min in an ultrasonic cleaner (BRANSON 2200, Branson Ultrasonics, Danbury, CT) before use. The endotoxin levels in the MSU crystal suspension were less than 0.005 EU/ml. Bromelain (from pineapple stem) and papain (from Carica papaya) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and EMD Millipore (Billerica, MA), respectively. Alternaria alternata culture filtrate extract, Aspergillus fumigatus extract, and HDM extract were obtained from Greer Laboratories (Lenoir, NC); these extracts contained less than 2 EU/mg protein.

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.
