DMEM media is a commonly used cell culture medium formulation developed by the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). It is a powdered, basal medium that provides essential nutrients for the growth and maintenance of a variety of cell types in in vitro cell culture systems. The core function of DMEM media is to support the basic nutritional requirements of cells.

Isolating Mouse Bone Marrow Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow was flushed from the tibiae and femurs of 8–10-week-old male C57BL/6J mice using a 25-gauge needle and DMEM media (ATCC) containing 10% FBS, 20 mM HEPES and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Once isolated, the bone marrow was plated in this medium supplemented with 10 ng/ml M-CSF (macrophage colony-stimulating factor; Sigma). On day four of differentiation, the media was replenished with fresh media (containing M-CSF). After seven days, the cells were liberated using a cell scraper centrifuged and re-plated in media lacking M-CSF. After 24 hours, cells were exposed to 10 nM RvD2 (Cayman Chemical) for four hours then collected in Buffer RLT (Qiagen) with 10 μl/ml 2-mercaptoethanol.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AEC2s were isolated from normal mice using previously described method61 (link) with the following modifications: lungs were subjected to dispase I treatment and cells were passed through 100 and 40 μm filters. Red blood cells were lysed using red blood cells lysis buffer (Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA; no. R7757). AEC2s were grown on fibronectin-coated (10 μg/ml) plates and cultured in DMEM media (ATCC; no. 30-2002) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 5% mixture of penicillin G, streptomycin, amphotericin B (Invitrogen) and plasmocin (Invivogen). Purity of AEC2s was measured by considering E-cadherin-positive cells as epithelial cells and vimentin-positive cells as non-epithelial cells.

To examine phagocytosis in mouse macrophages, bone marrow‐derived macrophages were generated from adult WT and histamine receptor‐deficient C57BL/6J mice by culturing bone marrow cells as previously described (Trouplin et al., 2013). Briefly, bone marrow cells were harvested by flushing tibias and femurs, in the presence of 50 nM recombinant murine macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (M‐CSF) (PeproTech, 315–02) in complete DMEM (DMEM media (ATCC, 30‐2002) with heat‐inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Thermo Fisher, 10438026), and 1 × antibiotic/antimycotic (Thermo Fisher, 15240062)) for seven days. Peritoneal macrophages were elicited from adult mice by intraperitoneal injection of 2% Bio‐Gel P‐100 (Bio‐Rad, 1504174), followed by a 4‐day rest period as previously described (Ray & Dittel, 2010). After the rest period, macrophages were harvested by peritoneal lavage with 10 ml prewarmed PBS. The resulting peritoneal cell suspension was washed by centrifugation at 600 g for 10 min at 4˚C and then resuspended in complete DMEM and allowed to attach to nontissue culture treated, plastic Petri dishes for 6 hr before washing twice with PBS and detaching with 0.25% Trypsin‐EDTA (Thermo Fisher, 25200‐056).

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.
