Establishing Brentuximab-Resistant Hodgkin Lymphoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Verapamil (VRP) and Cyclosporine (CsA) were purchased from Sigma and Selleckchem, respectively. The L428 and KMH2 Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines were obtained from the Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures, which authenticates cell lines using short tandem repeat (STR) DNA typing. Cells were passaged in the laboratory for fewer than 6 months following purchase and original authentication. Brentuximab vedotin (BV) was obtained from the City of Hope Pharmacy. The development of the BV-resistant cell line KMH2-R used a pulsatile approach, as previously described for the generation of L428-R cells.(11 (link)) Selection was considered successful when consistent proliferation was observed at 20 μg/mL of BV.

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.
