Pen strep antibiotic

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Pen/Strep antibiotics are a combination of penicillin and streptomycin, two commonly used antibiotics. They are used to inhibit the growth and reproduction of a wide range of bacteria. Pen/Strep antibiotics work by interfering with the formation of the bacterial cell wall, which is essential for the survival and proliferation of the microorganisms.

Lentiviral Transduction of IDH1 Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All the IDH1 mutant pUltra-Chili transfer plasmids were packaged into lentiviral vectors (LVs) by transient transfection of HEK293T cells along with the 3 packaging plasmids: pVSVg, pREV and pMDL. HEK293T cells were cultured in IMDM (Sigma, I3390) supplemented with 10% FBS (Fisher Scientific, 11550356) and 5% pen-strep antibiotic (Sigma, P4458). 48 h after transfection, HEK293T conditioned medium was harvested, centrifuged and filtered using 0.22 µm filters. The viral p24 antigen concentration was measured using an HIV-1 p24 core profile enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA assay Lenti-X p24 Rapid Titer kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Serial dilutions of freshly harvested conditioned medium were used to infect 1.2 × 105 LN18 cells in a six-well plate in the presence of polybrene (8 μg ml−1). As a control, cells were transduced with pUltra-Chili lentiviral vector, containing TdTomato, but no IDH1 sequences.

HEK-293T cells were cultured in 25 cm2 flasks containing RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% exosome-depleted bovine serum (FBS; System Bioscience) and 1% Pen-Strep antibiotic (Sigma). The cells were incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 48 h. Then, 24 h after cell passage (the cell confluency was 70–80%), the culture medium was slowly collected. Finally, HEK-293T-derived exosomes were isolated using ExoQuick-TC kit (System Biosciences). According to ExoQuick-TC protocol, the collected medium was centrifuged at 3000 g for 15 min to remove cells and debris. In the next step, 1 ml of ExoQuick-TC buffer was mixed with 5 ml of culture medium, and incubated at 4°C for 24 h. The mixture was centrifuged at 3000 g for 10 min to precipitate exosomes. The Bradford test was performed to measure protein levels at this stage. After that, the pellet was resuspended in various buffers (based on kit), and finally, the solution containing pure exosome was obtained. The BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to measure protein content at this stage.

HeLa cells were always kept at 37 °C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2, in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) (Sigma), containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma) and 1% PenStrep antibiotic (10,000 U penicillin + 10 mg streptomycin/mL) (Sigma). The adhesion tests were performed according to Cravioto et al. [18 (link)]. Briefly, 1 mL of a suspension of HeLa cells at a concentration of 1 × 105 cells/mL (Neubauer chamber) was distributed in a 24-well microplate containing glass coverslips, incubated at 37 °C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 for 48 h, until reaching the semi-confluence stage (70 to 90%). A 20-µL aliquot of each isolate (cultured overnight in BHI broth at 35 °C, without agitation) was added in duplicate to the microplate wells, already containing HeLa cells in DMEM supplemented with 2% FBS and 2% methyl α-D-mannopyranoside (Sigma). After 6 h of incubation, each well was washed six times with sterile PBS, and the slides were fixed with methanol (overnight), stained with May–Grünwald (5 min) and Giemsa (20 min), and analyzed under an oil immersion microscope. Isolates EPEC-E2348/69 (AL standard), EAEC-042 (AA standard), DAEC-C1845 (AD standard) and E. coli HB101 (NA standard) were used as controls [19 (link)].

CP tissues were excised from the lateral ventricles of
neonatal rats (4-5 day-old), rinsed by phosphate-buffered
saline (PBS, Sigma, USA), and next, the incubation with
0.25% trypsin solution (Invitrogen-Gibco, England) was
performed for 20 minutes at 37˚C. The next step was the
addition of fetal bovine serum (FBS, Invitrogen-Gibco,
England) and the centrifuge for 5 minutes. The sediment
was transmitted to a culture medium, including Dulbeccoʼs Modified Eagleʼs Media (DMEM/F12, Invitrogen-gibco,
England), 10% FBS, and 1% pen/strep antibiotic (Sigma,
USA). 20 μM cytosine arabinoside (Sigma, USA) was
used to prevent fibroblast proliferation for one week. The
culture medium was changed every 48 hours (22 (link)).

The NSCLC cell line A549 was purchased from the ATCC collection. Since cells were maintained in our laboratory, cell identification of A549 cells was performed by Microsynth AG (Balgach, Switzerland). Cells were maintained in DMEM/F12 (DMEM, PANTM Biotech; F12 Nut mix, Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) containing 4.5 g/L glucose, 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco), 1X GlutaMAX (Gibco) 1% PenStrep antibiotics (Penicillin G sodium salt, and Streptomycin sulfate salt, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MI, USA). The cells were cultured in standard tissue culture Petri-dish (2D monolayer, 10 mm diameter dish, Corning Life Sciences, Corning, NY, USA); T-75 flasks (2D TC, tissue culture flasks T75 flask, TPP, Trasadingen, Switzerland) or collagen type I covered T-75 flasks (2D Coll, tissue culture flasks T75 flask, TPP) for time points day 4 and 9 at maximum 80% confluence at standard atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2 (Sanyo, Osaka, Japan). At about 80% confluence cells were washed, harvested with trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich) and seeded into new dish.

E14.5 embryos were dissected from uterus; head, limbs and internal organs were removed. Tissue was disaggregated using an 18-gauge syringe and brought to single cell suspension with trypsin incubation at 37°C. Cells were then plated onto 100 mm tissue culture plates, passaged upon confluency and maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM-Sigma) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS-Gibco) and 1X Pen/Strep antibiotics (Sigma). SV40 T immortalized MEFs (iMEFs) were derived from primary Hat1+/+ and Hat1−/− embryonic day 13.5 embryos. To establish iMEFs, early passage cells were transformed with SV-40 T antigen containing plasmid pBSSVD2005 (ADDGENE, Cambridge, MA). Early passage cells were seeded at 25% confluency in six-well plates and transfected with 2 ug of expression vector using Fugene reagent (Roche). Cells were harvested and seeded into 100 mm dishes after 48 h of transfection. The cells were split at 1 in 10 dilutions until passage 5.
For the SILAC experiments, cells were grown in SILAC DMEM media (ThermoFisher Scientific) and supplemented with 10% dialyzed fetal bovine serum (ThermoFisher Scientific), antibiotics and isotopically labeled lysine and arginine (Cambridge Isotope laboratories). Hat1−/− cells were grown under these conditions for at least four passages to guarantee the full incorporation of the labeled amino acids.

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.
