Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the preparation of Biogel, 95 cc of distilled water was transferred to a 500cc beaker, and placed on a hot plate stirrer. Then the required carbopol was added to water and heated. After that, the methyl paraben and propyl paraben were dissolved in 95% alcohol and the solution was added to the beaker, too. Finally, the required amount of glycerin was added to the sample. Then 0.5 grams of effective ingredients of Chitosan (Germany, Sigma-Aldrich, LMW: wt 50000–190000) or triamcinolone (Iran) emulsion were added to this base gel per 100 ml of gel for preparing the Chitosan and triamcinolone mouthwashes. Finally, 0.5% mouthwash with PH=5.5 was prepared.

The EJ-DR assay was performed as previously described (Bindra et al., 2013 (link)). EJ-DR reporter cells were plated at 200,000–500,000 cells per well in 10% charcoal-stripped FBS (100–119; Gemini), antibiotic/antimycotic, and DMEM and transfected the next day with siRNA and/or plasmid DNA using Lipofectamine 2000 (11668; Invitrogen) or Lipofectamine RNAiMAX (13778; Invitrogen). After knockdown and expression (24 h), cells were grown in 10% Tet-free FBS (100-800; Gemini), antibiotic/antimycotic, and DMEM. Incorporated I-Sce1 was induced with Shield1 (632189; Clontech) and triamcinolone (T6510; Sigma Aldrich) ligands for 24 h. NHEJ and HR repair activity was assessed 48 h postinduction by quantification of DsRed- and GFP-positive cells on BD FACS Calibur system and analyzed on FlowJo (Tree Star).

HDR Assays in MCF7 and U2OS Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HDR assays were performed using MCF7 DR-GFP and U2OS EJ-DR cells as previously described (10 (link),19 (link),33 (link)). Briefly, cells were seeded and pretreated with cediranib for 6 to 24 hours. For MCF7 DR-GFP cells, site-specific DSBs were introduced using electroporation with Amaxa Nucleofector II and Nucleofector Kit V (Lonza) to deliver 4 μg of a plasmid encoding the restriction enzyme I-Sce I per 1 × 106 cells. For U2OS EJ-DR cells, DSBs were induced by the addition of triamcinolone (0.5 μM; Sigma) and Shield1 (100 nM; Clontech) to cell culture medium for 24 hours to activate the endogenously expressed I-Sce I enzyme. MCF7 DR-GFP and U2OS EJ-DR cells were analyzed by flow cytometry to quantify GFP+ cells 72 hours after DSB induction.

Methanol and acetonitrile and formic acid 99.9% (LC-MS grade) and water (HPLC gradient grade) were supplied from VWR (VWR International PBI Srl, Milan, Italy). Methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, prednisolone, fluocinolone acetonide, flumetasone, prednisone, triamcinolone, triamcinolone acetonide, beclomethasone, clobetasol propionate, dexamethasone D4, Methylprednisolone D2, and prednisolone D6 (purity > 98%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy). A 1000 mg L−1 stock solution was made by dissolving the standard in methanol. From this solution, a 10 mg L−1 work solution was made by dilution in methanol.

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.
