Proline and Rapamycin in Nude Mice Xenograft

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The animal experiments were performed under standard conditions. Twenty-five nude mice (male, 4-6 weeks old) were used and purchased from the Animal Center at Jiangsu University. The mice were randomly divided into five groups with five mice in each group. At the same time, all of the mice were injected subcutaneously with 1×105 cells transfected sh-EGFP plasmid, sh-ALKBH5 plasmid, or PYCR2-siRNA. We randomly chose two groups from three PYCR2-siRNA groups, when the average tumor volume was about 50 mm3, they were injected with a proline solution (5mm, 100µL) in the abdominal cavity, one of them also injected with 4mg/kg Rapamycin (Meilun, Dalian, China). Tumor growth was monitored every two days.

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.
