Phosphate buffered saline buffer

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) is a commonly used buffer solution in biological research and laboratory applications. It is a balanced salt solution containing sodium phosphate and sodium chloride, with a pH of 7.4. The primary function of PBS is to maintain a physiologically relevant environment for various biological samples and experiments, such as cell culture, immunoassays, and protein purification.

Once confluent, cell monolayers were washed twice with warm phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer (Sigma-Aldrich) to remove antibiotics. Then, CLAB cells were cultured in a 12-well cell culture plate (Corning Incorporated) at a concentration of 4 × 105 cells/well in DMEM medium containing P/S and L-glutamine (1.5 mL) in a controlled humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 at 37% for 48 h. The probiotic strain L. reuteri B1/1 in MRS broth (Merck KGaA) was centrifuged at 2400 RPM for 10 min and resuspended in DMEM advanced media supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (both from Life Technologies) and without antibiotics. A 1 mL volume of the probiotic bacterial suspension at a concentration of 107 (LR7) and 109 (LR9) CFU/mL was added to the CLAB cells. As a control (C), the same medium but without bacteria was used for cell exposure. Plates were incubated for 2 h and 4 h under a controlled atmosphere (5% CO2 at 37%). All treatments and controls were performed in three independent replicates. After incubation, the cells were immediately washed with ice-cold sterile PBS buffer (Sigma-Aldrich).

A 20 ml of E. coli grown in LB medium, Clostridium thermocellum and C. cellulolyticum grown on 5 g/L cellobiose in VM medium were collected and centrifuged respectively. For each strain, the cell pellets were treated with NaN3/Ca2+ and washed three times with 50 mM Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States). Then, 50 μg purified X2-N, ΔX2-N, and CBM3a proteins were incubated with collected cell pellets respectively in the PBS buffer at 4°C for 12 h. After centrifugation, the pellet from each incubation was resuspended in the SDS-PAGE Protein Loading Buffer (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, United States) and boiled for 10 min. Finally, the 6x-His Tag antibody (R930-25, Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, United States) was used to detect the binding between proteins and cell wall by Western blotting.

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.
