Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK Freestyle 293F (HEK293F; Thermo Fisher Scientific) cells were cultured in 15-cm cell culture dishes containing Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; BioConcept) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (PenStrep; PAN Biotech) with 5% CO2 and cultured at 37°C. At 80% confluence, cell medium was exchanged to DMEM supplemented with 2% FBS and 1% PenStrep. The transfection mixture was prepared with Cx32-YFP-twinStrep plasmid and branched polyethyleneimine (Sigma-Aldrich) at a ratio of 1:2 (w/w) with serum-free DMEM. The transfection mixture was added to cells after 5 min of incubation at room temperature. After 48 hours of expression at 37°C and 5% CO2, the cells were harvested using a cell scraper in buffer A containing 25 mM tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 150 mM NaCl and collected by centrifugation at 800g and 4°C. The cells were washed with buffer A and collected by centrifugation. The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were frozen at −80°C for further experiments.

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.
