Analysis of DNA content and cell cycle distribution was done using muse cell cycle kit by flow cytometry. For fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis, the treated K562 cells were incubated for 24 h. After overnight incubation cells were detached and pipetted out and spun at 300 × g for 5 min and washed once with 1 × Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The cells were fixed with 1 ml of ice cold ethanol and incubated at -20 °C for overnight. The ethanol fixed cells were washed once with PBS followed by 200 μL of Muse cell cycle reagent. The tubes were incubated for 30 min at dark and analyzed on Muse flow cytometer (Millipore, USA)

To assess effects on cell growth, the CellTiter-Blue assay was used (Promega). In brief, 1000 to 5000 cells were plated in triplicate in 96-well plates. Then, 20–30 μL of the CellTiter-Blue reagent was added per well in 96-well plates and incubated for 1–4 h at 37 °C in 5% CO2. For drug treatments, cells in 96-well plates were cultured with various drug concentrations of AZD6244, AZD6738, VE-822, or temozolomide (Selleckchem). Vehicle (Dimethyl sulfoxide)-treated cells were used as controls and the cell survival fraction was calculated as a percentage of control cells. Fluorescence (560 nmEx/590 nmEm) was measured using a TECAN plate reader. Additionally, apoptosis assays were performed using Muse Annexin V and Dead Cell reagent (MilliporeSigma), and Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assays were performed as previously described [27 (link)]. Data were acquired using Muse flow cytometer (Millipore) and analyzed with FlowJo software.

A cell cycle analysis kit and a premixed reagent (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) were used for nuclear DNA intercalating staining with propidium iodide (PI), which discriminates cells at different stages of the cell cycle based on differential DNA (G0/G1, S and G2/M). CD4+ T cells were cultured for 20 hr. Isolated CD4+ cells were fixed in 70% ice-cold ethanol overnight and washed twice in PBS. The cells were analyzed on a Muse flow cytometer (Millipore) fitted with a 532 nm green diode using the cell cycle assay software. The cell cycle analysis was performed according to manufacturer's instructions.

WM266–4 cells were seeded at 250, 000 cells/well in E-MEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin in 6 well plates (Greiner Bio-One CellStar cat# 655180) and allowed to adhere overnight. After incubation cells were treated with control (25 μM dabrafenib + 25 μM trametinib), and 25 μM 2155–14 and 2155–18 for 24 and 48 h. Manufacturer’s instructions for Muse™ PI3K/MAPK Dual Pathway Activation kit (EMD Millipore MCH200108) were followed. Briefly, cells were harvested, washed with PBS, and re-suspended in 1X assay buffer supplemented with fixation buffer and incubated on ice for 10 min. Cells were permeabilized with permeabilization buffer supplied with the kit and incubated with an antibody cocktail (5 μL of Anti-Akt/PKB + 5 μL of Anti-phospho-Akt). Cells were analyzed on Muse flow cytometer (EMD Millipore) using PI3K/MAPK Dual Pathway sub-routine.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ceramide levels present in the cell membrane of p53+/+ HCT116 cells were assessed by flow cytometry. Cells were treated with unlabeled mAbs (20 μg/ml) or 125I-mAbs (4 MBq/ml) at 37°C for 1 h. After three washes, cells were fixed in 3.7% (v/v) paraformaldehyde for 15 min. Then, cells were washed three times in PBS buffer and incubated with the anti-ceramide 15B4 mAb at a dilution of 1:50 (Alexis Biochemicals) at 37°C for 1 h. After three washes in PBS—2% FCS, cells were incubated with PE-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgM at a dilution of 1:100 (Jackson ImmunoResearch) in the dark for 1 h. Cells were then washed three times and suspended in PBS for analysis using a Muse flow cytometer (Merck Millipore, Fullerton, CA). The y axis corresponds to the total number of analyzed cells (arbitrary units), while the x axis represents the fluorescence signal intensity (PE-conjugated goat mAb anti-ceramide 15B4 mAb). The numbers provided in the red boxes correspond to the proportion of ceramide-positive cells within the total population of cells compared with the nontreated control.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cytotoxicities of the mHSP/peptide and Grp94/peptide were tested using flow cytometry. The mHSP/peptide vaccine was applied at four different concentrations to the fibroblast L929 cell line, and the same procedure was used for the Grp94/peptide vaccine. The four different concentrations of the mHSP/peptide vaccine ranged from 0 to 30 µg/mL, and the Grp94/peptide vaccine concentrations ranged from 0 to 300 ng/mL. The L929 cells were cultured in 6-well plates, and vaccines were added to 4 wells at different concentrations. The plates were placed in a carbon dioxide cell incubator for 24 h. A Muse flow cytometer (Merck Company) was used for the L929 viability tests. The flow cytometry test for L929 cell viability treated with different vaccine concentrations followed the instructions of the Muse Count/Viability manual.

The cell apoptosis was analyzed on a MUSE™ flow cytometer (Merck Millipore, USA). Lower left quadrant (LL) represented viable cells; upper left quadrant (UL) represented necrotic cells; lower right quadrant (LR) represented early apoptotic cells; upper right quadrant (UR) represented late apoptotic cells. The apoptotic ratio (%) was calculated as the cell ratio in LR + UR.

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.
