Modulating T-cell Metabolic Pathways

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For certain experiments, IL-2 (10 ng/ml; Miltenyi) was added after 24 h. To bypass initial T cell receptor-dependent signalling, T-cells were activated using PMA (10 ng/ml; Merck) and ionomycin (500 ng/ml; Merck) for 4 h. For partial rescue, T-cells were activated in the presence and absence of canagliflozin, supplemented with dimethyl α-ketoglutarate (0.3 mM; Merck). For complex I inhibition experiments, T-cells were activated in the presence or absence of rotenone (1 μM; Merck) or metformin hydrochloride (10 mM; MedChemExpress). High-dose metformin hydrochloride was used to bypass any transporter-specific uptake. For combined inhibition of complex I and glutamate dehydrogenase, T-cells were activated in the presence and absence of piericidin A (500 nM; Enzo Life Sciences) and R162 (10 μM; Merck). To determine whether ERK inhibition or mTORC1 inhibition phenocopies canagliflozin treatment, T-cells were cultured in the presence of PD-98,059 (25 μM; Merck) and rapamycin (100 nM; Merck), respectively.

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.
