The procedures of BMEC culture were described previously (Wang et al., 2018 (link)). The mammary gland tissues were acquired from 3 midlactation dairy cows at a local abattoir. The use of animal tissues was approved by the Institutional Animal Use Committee of Zhejiang University. Briefly, the minced tissues collected from bovine mammary gland were digested in trypsin (0.25%, Amesco, Solon, OH, USA) at 37 °C for 30 min and subsequently in collagenase I (Amesco) and collagenase II (Amesco) for 4 h at 37 °C. The digested tissue homogenate was filtrated and centrifuged at 300 g or 5 min, the cells were cultivated in plastic dishes containing DMEM/F12 with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA), transferrin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), insulin (Sigma), prolactin (5 mg/mL, Sigma), hydrocortisone (1 mg/mL, Sigma) and epithelial growth factor (10 ng/mL, Sigma). After the cells were starved for 12 h and treated with rapamycin (100 ng/mL, Sangon, Shanghai, China) for 12 h, they were then harvested with RIPA cell lysate buffer (Beyotime, Jiangsu, China) or used to study peptide uptake. BMEC used in the study were between passages 5 and 8.

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.
