ESCs were maintained on embryonic fibroblasts using standard conditions (Ernst et al., 2004b (link)). For in vitro differentiation, single-cell suspensions from dissociated ESC cultures were seeded at 10,000–20,000 cells/mL in Petri dishes (Fisher) with orbital rotation (50 rpm, Labnet Orbit 1000). The differentiation medium was Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium (Mediatech) containing 15% fetal bovine serum (Gibco), 2 mM L-glutamine (Mediatech), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Mediatech), 200 μg/mL holo bovine transferrin (Millipore), 4.5 × 10−4 M monothioglycerol (Sigma) and 50 μg/mL ascorbic acid (Sigma). Doxycycline (Enzo Life Sciences) was added to the differentiation medium at 1–2 μg/mL for the times indicated in each figure legend.

Insecticide Toxicity Assay for Cockroaches

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Technical insecticides were serially diluted with acetone and 0.5 μL of a dilution was applied to the ventral surface of the cockroach between the metacoxae with a repeating micro-pipette (Hamilton Company, Reno, NV, USA). At least 30 individuals were treated with each concentration. Following treatment, cockroaches were maintained in three groups of 10 in 10 cm diameter petri dishes (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) and provisioned with rat chow and water. Cockroaches topically treated with fipronil or indoxacarb were monitored for mortality daily for two days; those treated with hydramethylnon for five days. The greatest range of mortality for the AIs tested at given doses occurred at these two time points. Insects that could not right themselves within 30 seconds when flipped, and would exhibit erratic appendage movements were considered dead. Values for LD50 and LD90, and their respective fiducial limits, were estimated from Probit analysis in Polo Plus (LeOra Software Company, Petaluma, CA, USA).26

Seed Sterilization and Stratification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To ensure maximum germination, the seeds from the SEN and NEB populations were sterilised in a 50:50 mix of sodium hypochlorite (Sigma) and water for 10 minutes. Then after, they were rinsed thoroughly with distilled water and placed on 0.4% plant agar (Duchefa) in 10 cm2 Petri- dishes (Fisher Scientific) and sealed with Parafilm (Sigma). The Petri-dishes were stored at 4°C for 21 days following which the seeds were dried on tissue paper overnight before sowing.

Generation of hPSC-Derived Enteric Neural Crest Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The generation of hPSC-derived ENCCs has been previously published (Bajpai et al., 2010 (link); Workman et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly for ENCC generation, confluent hPSCs were treated with collagenase IV (500 U/ml, Gibco) in mTeSR1 for 60–90 mins to detach colonies. Cells were diluted and washed with DMEM/F-12 (Gibco) and then gently triturated and resuspended in neural induction media, 1:1 ratio of DMEM/F12-GlutaMAX (Gibco) and Neurobasal Medium (Gibco) with B27 supplement (0.5x, Gibco), N2 supplement (0.5x, Gibco), pen-strep (1x, Gibco), insulin (5 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich), FGF2 (20 ng/mL, R&D Systems), and EGF (20 ng/mL, R&D Systems), on non-TC-treated petri dishes (6cm, Fisherbrand). Neural induction media was changed daily and all-trans RA (2 μM) was added on days 4 and 5 for posteriorization. Day 6 free-floating neurospheres were plated on human fibronectin (HFN, 3 μg/cm2, Corning) and fed neural induction media without RA for 4 days. Migrated cells were collected using a 90 sec Accutase treatment and passaged onto HFN. Passaged cells were allowed to grow to confluency for an additional 4 days and fed neural induction media without RA every day. Confluent cells were dissociated into single cells using Accutase (2–6 min), resuspended in 1–4mL DMEM/F-12 (Gibco), counted, and immediately combined with hAGOs, hFGOs, and hEOs (see below for recombination procedure).

GSCs derived from high-grade glioma samples, the MES subtype (GSC-83, GSC-326) and the PN subtype (GSC-19, GSC-84), were described by us previously3 (link). The GSCs were cultured in suspension in GSC growth medium [DMEM-F12 (Cat# 10565, Life Technologies) supplemented with B27 (1:50), heparin (5 mg/mL), basic FGF (bFGF) (20 ng/mL), and EGF (20 ng/mL)] in 100 × 20 mm Petri dishes (Cat# 0875711Z, Fisher Scientific) at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Growth medium was changed every 3 or 4 days. U87MG cells (Cat# HTB-14, ATCC) were cultured in EMEM (Cat#11095080, Thermo Fisher Scientific) with 10% FBS(HI), Sodium Pyruvate (1 mM) (Cat#11360-070, Invitrogen), MEM supplemented with Non-Essential Amino acids (0.1 mM) (Cat#11140050, Thermo Fisher Scientific), antibiotic/antimycotic (4 ml) (Cat#15240062, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Gentamycin (5 µg/ml) (Cat# 9354, Irvine Scientific). Growth medium was changed every 3 or 4 days. 293-FT cells (Cat# R70007, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were cultured in DMEM (Cat# 45000-304, VWR) with 10% FBS(HI), Glutamine (2 mM) (Cat# 25030081, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and antibiotic/antimycotic (4 ml) (Cat# 15240062, Thermo Fisher Scientific). All cells were cultured at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Details for each cell line used herein are in Supplementary Table 1.

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.
