Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse CDCs were expanded using methods similar to those previously described [23 (link)]. Briefly, atria from mice were minced into small fragments and cultured as “explants” on dishes coated with 15 μg/ml fibronectin (CORNING), by using IMDM basic medium (Gibco), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), 100 units/ml penicillin G and 10 μg/ml streptomycin (WAKO, Japan). Stromal-like flat cells and phase-bright round cells emerged from the tissue fragments in 3–5 days and became confluent within 2 weeks. Twice-passaged CDCs were used for the experiments.
Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were purchased from company (EmbryoMax® PMEF-P3, strain CF-1, Millipore, Billerica, MA) and cultured on 0.1% (w/v) gelatin-coated culture dishes in high glucose DMEM medium (Wako, Japan), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 units/ml penicillin G and 10 μg/ml streptomycin.
Totally confluent CDCs or MEFs were changed with fresh medium, and conditioned media were obtained 24 hours later. All cells were cultured in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C.

Caco-2 cells (ATCC, HTB-37) were cultured in MEM basic medium (Gibco) supplemented with Earle’s salts, L-glutamine and 20% fetal bovine serum. After detachment with 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (Gibco), the cells were cultured in a 96-well plate at approximately 2 × 104 cells/100 μl/well at 37 °C under 5% CO2 for 24 h. One hundred microliters of 2 μM recombinant Igl, PBST or medium containing 200 units/ml penicillin G and 200 μg/ml streptomycin (Wako, Japan) was added and the cells were incubated for an additional 12 or 24 h under the same conditions. The cells were trypsinized and harvested after 0, 12 or 24 h of incubation and the number of cells per well was counted. The results are shown as the mean of 5 experiments with SD.

Mouse CSCs were expanded using methods similar to those previously described [16 (link)]. Briefly, atrial tissues from mice were minced into small fragments and cultured as “explants” on 6-cm culture dishes coated with 15 μg/ml fibronectin (CORNING). Within 1 week, stromal-like flat cells and phase-bright round cells emerged from the tissue fragments, and they became confluent at approximately 2 weeks. The outgrowth of CSCs was harvested using 0.25% trypsin (Gibco) at 2 weeks, counted using a Nucleo Counter cell-counting device (Chemotetec A/S, Denmark), and then passaged for cell expansion. Twice-passaged CSCs were used for the following experiments as indicated. All cells were cultured in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C using IMDM basic medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (HyClone), 100 units/ml penicillin G and 10 μg/ml streptomycin (WAKO, Japan).

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.
