Penicillin and streptomycin

Manufactured by Solarbio
Sourced in China, United States, Israel

Penicillin and streptomycin are antibiotics commonly used in laboratory settings. Penicillin is a beta-lactam antibiotic that disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, while streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. These antibiotics are often used together to prevent bacterial contamination in various laboratory procedures and cell culture applications.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synovial tissue specimens were obtained from rat ankle joints. Synovial cells (mainly fibroblast-like synoviocytes) were isolated from tissue explants and cultured as previously described [23 (link)]. Briefly, each sample was cut into small pieces and placed into a digestion solution containing collagenase (type I) (Sigma) for 1–2 h with brief mixing. After centrifugation, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (Solarbio) was added to the precipitate for digestion for 20−30 min, and the digestion was terminated when single or dispersed cell masses were observed under the microscope. Then, the cells were collected and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (HyClone) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Sigma) and 1% streptomycin and penicillin (Solarbio) at 37°C with 5% CO2. After overnight incubation, nonadherent cells were removed, and adherent cells were seeded into 6-well culture plates (3 × 105 cells/ml/well).
All experiments were performed with cells obtained after passage 3. Cell-specific markers were used to identify synoviocyte populations. FLS cells were vimentin+ and CD68-, as demonstrated by specific fluorescence antibody staining (Abcam). FLS cells were treated with or without MSU (100 μg/ml) separately for 48 h. FLS cells and supernatants were harvested and frozen at -80°C for later cytokine analysis by qPCR and western blot.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The femur and tibia of C57BL/6 mice were used to isolate the bone marrow cells, which were then cultured for seven days in RPMI‐1640 medium (Life Technologies, UK) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco, USA), 1% streptomycin and penicillin (Solarbio, China), and 30% L929 culture supernatant medium to differentiate them into bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM).28 Fresh media supplemented with the polarizing cytokines were added to modulate M1 or M2 macrophage polarization for further 2 days (M1: 100 ng/mL LPS; M2: 20 ng/mL IL‐4 and IL‐13).
Recombinant human M‐CSF (10 ng/mL × 5 days) and phorbol 12‐myristate 13‐acetate (50 ng/ml, PMA, Sigma‐Aldrich) for 2 days were utilized to stimulate CX3CR1+ monocytes and THP‐1 cells separately into macrophages. After treatment with DAC (5 μM)29 or phosphate buffer saline (PBS) (used as solvent control) during the differentiation period, IL‐4 and IL‐13 were added to induce the differentiation of M2 macrophages for 3 days. The purity and viability were examined by flow cytometry (Figure S1B,C).

The medium was changed every 3 days. ALP staining (Meilunbio, China) was performed 7 days later to observe the early osteogenic differentiation. Moreover, after 14 days, ARS (Solarbio, China) was used to assess late osteogenic differentiation according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
