After growing to 80% confluence, cells were washed with PBS, and fresh serum-free media was added. Conditioned medium (CM) was harvested 48 h later, filtered through a 0.22-μm filter to remove cell debris, and then stored at −80 °C until use. To block the production of lactate, the indicated cells were treated with 2 mM sodium dichloroacetate (DCA, Sigma) for 72 h.

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.
