Combination Cytotoxicity Assay of 5-FU and Rapamycin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU, S1209) and inhibitors of mTOR (rapamycin, S1039) were purchased from Selleck (Houston, TX, USA). The working concentration of 5-FU on HCT116 was 0–10 μg/ml. And the working concentration of 5-FU on SW620 was 0–20 μg/ml. The working concentration of rapamycin was 1 μM. For this assay, 1 × 104 cells were seeded into 96-well plates and cultured with different concentrations of 5-FU for 24 h. And the cell viability was also measured by CCK-8, we detected OD450 at 24 h, OD450 of cells treating with 5-FU was normalized by OD450 of cells without treatment to get the cell viability (%). The cell viability was calculated according to the following formula: cell viability (%) = (OD450 of cells treating with 5-FU)/(OD450 of cells without treatment) * 100. The effect of compound treatment was confirmed by Western blotting.

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.
