Murine Cancer Cell Culture Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BALB/C and C57BL/6J mice (female, 6–8-week-old) were purchased from Daehan Biolink (Eumseong, Korea). All animal procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of Chungnam National University (CNU-01056). The murine colon cancer CT26 and the B16F10 melanoma cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 (Welgene, Gyeongsan, Korea) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich) in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37 °C. Sodium butyrate (10 mM, 303410, Sigma-Aldrich) was used to induce baculovirus infection and expression of transgenes. SF9 insect cells were maintained in Sf-900II SFM (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 5% FBS.

Animal Handling and Reagent Procurement for Mouse Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Six-week-old ICR, Balb/c, and C57BL/6 male mice (see Table S2 for genetic background information) were purchased from Daehan Biolink (DBL, Chungbuk, Korea) and housed eight mice per group under a 12-h light/dark cycle (lights on at 6 a.m.). Water and a pellet diet (Samyang, Daejeon, Korea) were supplied ad libitum. Animal care followed guidelines issued by the National Institutes of Health for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (NIH Publication 80-23, revised in 1996) and the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Sungkyunkwan University (Approval No.: SKKUIACUC-2016-01-0002-2). Phorbol-12-myristate, sodium carboxyl methylcellulose, 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB), dextran sodium sulphate (DSS), acetylsalicylic acid, D-GalN, LPS (E. coli 0111:B4), 100% EtOH, and HCl were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA). MAPK inhibitors (SB203580, SP600125, and U0126) were purchased from Calbiochem (La Jolla, CA, USA). RAW264.7, HEK293, and MDA-MB-231 cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). Detailed information on antibodies used in this study is explained in Supplementary Materials. The AP-1 luciferase construct was purchased from Addgene (Cambridge, MA, USA).

MERS and HPV Vaccine Immunization in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunization with MERS S soluble protein vaccine and HPV L1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine, female BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were purchased from Dae-Han Bio-Link. Female TLR7 KO mice were kindly provided by Dr. Bumseok Kim, Chonbuk National University, and hDPP4 Tg mice, stably expressing hDPP4 as the MERS-CoV receptor, were kindly provided by Dr. Sungkyun Park, Korea Research Institute of Bioscience & Biotechnology. Mice were housed at the Catholic University of Korea under specific-pathogen-free conditions with 12-h light/dark cycle and handled according to protocols approved by the Catholic University of Korea. The animal facility at the Catholic University of Korea is fully accredited by the Korean Association for Laboratory Animals. All mice experimental procedures conducted in this study followed the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the Catholic University of Korea (CUK-IACUC-2016-039, 2016-046, 2017-028, 2018-027, and 2018-028).
For MERS-CoV challenge, hDPP4-transgenic (Tg) mice (5–7-weeks old) were maintained in a biosafety level 3 facility at the Korea Zoonosis Research Institute of Chonbuk National University and followed the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (2018-045).

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.
