Collagenase digestion

Manufactured by Worthington
Sourced in United States

Collagenase digestion is a laboratory technique used to break down and solubilize collagen-containing tissues. It involves the use of the enzyme collagenase, which specifically cleaves the peptide bonds in collagen. This process is commonly used in cell culture and tissue engineering applications to isolate and extract cells from their extracellular matrix.

Isolation and Characterization of NK Cells from Mouse Kidneys

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NK cells were purified from mouse kidneys at 24 h after RIR or sham laparotomy. Cells were isolated via pancreatin (Sigma-Aldrich; St. Louis, MO) and collagenase digestion (Worthington; Lakewood, NJ) as described previously (17 ). Briefly, kidney digests were incubated at 37°C for 10 min, and then passed through a 70-μm strainer. Cells were stained with fluorescent antibodies APC-CD3, PE-CD49b, and PE-isotype control (Biolegend, San Diego, CA) in flow cytometry buffer (PBS, 2% fetal bovine serum, 0.1% sodium azide). For each flow cytometric experiment for the detection of cell surface antigens by using multicolor fluorescent antibodies, we used unstained and single color compensation controls to get rid of any possible spillover of individual fluorescence. Data was acquired using a BD LSRFortessa flow cytometer (BD Biosciences; San Jose, CA), and analyzed using FlowJo 7.6.5 software (FlowJo LLC; Ashland, OR).

Rat SKPs (rSKPs) were isolated from the back skin of P30 male green fluorescent protein (GFP)‐expressing Sprague Dawley rats (Sadaaki Takagi Japan SLC, Hamamatsu, Japan, http://www.jslc.co.jp) after an overdose of sodium pentobarbital (27.3 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection), according to previously described protocols 21. Primary dermal cells were grown in basic fibroblast growth factor (40 ng/ml; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, http://www.bdbiosciences.com), platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF)‐BB (25 ng/ml; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, http://www.rndsystems.com), B27 supplement (2%; Thermo Fisher Scientific Life Sciences, Waltham, MA, http://www.thermofisher.com) and penicillin/streptomycin (1%; Thermo Fisher Scientific Life Sciences) in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) low glucose/F12 (3:1; Thermo Fisher Scientific Life Sciences). SKPs were plated at 30,0000 cells per milliliter in suspension culture flasks (Falcon). Following primary colony formation, SKPs were dissociated to single cells using collagenase digestion (2 mg/ml; Worthington Biochemical Corp., Lakewood, NJ, http://www.worthington‐biochem.com) and replated at 30,000 cells per milliliter. SKPs were passaged three or four times in static culture before being introduced to the bioreactor expansion to obtain sufficient numbers of cells to seed into the 500‐ml bioreactors at 30,000 cells per milliliter.

Cardiac-derived C-kit+ cell isolation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cardiac-derived cells were isolated from BalbC female mice at 2–3 months of age by collagenase digestion (280 U/mL; Worthington, Lakewood, N.J., USA) through the coronary arteries and myocyte were removed by centrifugation. Cells were cultured in F12:DMEM 1:1 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and expanded. Ckit+ cells were selected with immunomagnetic CD117 microbeads, mouse (Miltenyi Biotec) (Supplementary Figure 2) and were expanded in Ham’s F12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin-streptomycin and Erythropoietin (Sigma-Aldrich) 2,5 mg in 500 ml [75 (link)].

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.
