Bone marrow-derived mature megakaryocytes were generated as described [25 (link)]. Briefly, mouse femurs were flushed, and cells expressing Ly6G/Ly6C, CD11b, CD16/32, and B220 were depleted using magnetic beads (sheep anti-rat IgG Dynabeads, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and the following antibodies: anti-mouse Ly6G/Ly6C (561103, BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), anti-mouse CD11b (47-0112-82, Thermo Fisher Scientific), anti-mouse CD16/CD32 (553141, BD Biosciences), and anti-mouse B220 (BD Biosciences). Negatively selected cells were incubated in megakaryocyte medium (Stempro-34 SFM, Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 2.6% nutrient supplement, 1% glutamine, 1% penicillin–streptomycin–fungizone, and 20 ng/mL stem cell factor (Peprotech EC Ltd., London, UK) for 2 d at 37 °C and 5% CO2, followed by a 5-d incubation with additional 50 ng/mL thrombopoietin (TPO) (Peprotech EC Ltd.). Mature megakaryocytes were enriched with a gradient of 3%/1.5% BSA (PAA Laboratories, Fisher Scientific, Hampton, NH, USA) under gravity for 45 min at RT. Cells in the lower 25% of the gradient, representing mature megakaryocytes, were washed in PBS and harvested in TriFast™ (VWR, Radnor, PA, USA).

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.
