Endometriosis Tissue Isolation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Biopsies of eutopic endometrium and endometriotic cysts were obtained from patients undergoing surgical treatment for ovarian endometriosis. Ethics approval for the study was obtained from the ethics committee at the National Medical Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology, named after Academician V.I.Kulakov (protocol №9 from 16.11.2017, Ministry of Healthcare, Russian Federation). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient under study.
Tissues were collected under sterile conditions and transferred to the laboratory in a DMEM/F-12 (1:1) incubation medium without serum containing 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 0.25 μg/mL amphotericin B (medium and additives were from PanEco, Russia). Cell isolation was performed not more than 30 min after tissue collection. The presence of endometriotic lesions in the portions of collected biopsies was confirmed by a pathologist after histological examination.

Tumor Cell Isolation and Cryopreservation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumor cells were obtained by cold trypsinization of the tumor samples obtained from the patients during planned surgical intervention. A tumor sample was divided into small fragments in RPMI-1640 medium containing 80 μg/mL gentamicin, 400 U/mL benzylpenicillin, and 5 μg/mL amphotericin B (PanEco, Moscow, Russia), placed in trypsin (Biolot, St. Petersburg, Russia), minced with scissors, and left overnight at +4°C. To inhibit trypsin, RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS was added and mixed thoroughly; the homogeneous suspension was precipitated (1,000 rpm, 10 min), and the cell count was calculated in a Goryaev chamber.
Cells were frozen in FCS with 10% DMSO and stored at -70°C. Cells were thawed and cultured in complete RPMI-1640 medium 24 hrs prior to the cytotoxicity test.

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.
