Clonogenic Assay for Apoptosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nalm6, Jurkat, and 658w WT and casp-3/7−/− cells were plated in 3 ml of RPMI 1640 complete medium in six-well plates at a concentration of 2 × 105 cells per well. The cells were then treated for 24 to 48 hours with either Birinapant (50 nM) and TNF (10 ng/ml), ABT263 (5 mM), or vehicle. The cells were then collected, washed with PBS, mixed with Methocult Optimum media (catalog no. 4034; StemCell Technologies), and plated at a concentration of 1000 cells per well in six-well SmartDish plates (catalog no. 27370; StemCell Technologies). Cells were aliquoted in duplicate samples. After 10 to 14 days, colony-forming units were visually counted under a microscope.

Hematopoietic Potential of CMS iPS-Derived CD34+ Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FACS-sorted iPS-derived CD34 + cells from the CMS and non-CMS subjects were plated at a density of 105 cells per 35 mm dish combined with MethoCult Optimum media (Stemcell Technology, Cat. H4034) and 2% FBS (Sigma, Cat. F2442). Dishes were incubated at 37 °C in an incubator with 5% CO2 and 5% O2 for 14 d, at which time colonies were scored for BFU-E and CFU–GEMM (granulocyte, erythrocyte, monocyte, megakaryocyte). For EPO dose-response experiments, Methocult classic (without EPO) (Stemcell Technology, Cat. H4434) was mixed with various doses of EPO (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 units) and assayed for colony production. We used N = 4 subjects for each group that was tested by this assay.

At 48 h post gene editing, 250 cells per well were plated in Methocult Optimum media in SmartDish plates (both StemCell Technologies). Plates were incubated in a secondary enclosure at 37 °C, 5% CO2, and 5% O2 for 14 d before scoring colonies using the human mPB program on a STEMvision imager (StemCell Technologies).

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.
