Rapamycin rapa

Manufactured by Solarbio
Sourced in China

Rapamycin (RAPA) is a potent immunosuppressant and antiproliferative agent. It inhibits the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, a key regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and survival. Rapamycin is commonly used in research applications to study the mTOR signaling cascade and its role in various biological processes.

The treatment was initiated after lymph node cell infusion and lasted for 10 days. Mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: AA group, mice were fed the control diet and orally administered sterile saline; TBI group, mice were fed the same as the normal group; CsA (Zhongmei Huadong Pharmaceutical Co. LTD, Hangzhou, China) group, mice were fed the same control diet and intraperitoneal injection daily administered 50 μg/g/d for 10 days; rapamycin (Rapa) (Solarbio, China) group, mice were fed the same control diet and intraperitoneal injection daily administered 2 μg/g/d for 10 days; Elt group, mice were fed the same control diet and intraperitoneal injection daily administered Elt (20 μg/g/d) for 10 days; and Rapa+Elt group, mice were fed the same control diet and intraperitoneal injection daily administered Rapa and Elt (20 μg/g/d) for 10 days. The mice were sacrificed on the 17th day after treatment. Mice were anesthetized by isoflurane anesthesia (2-3% isoflurane with oxygen supply). Peripheral blood samples were collected by removing the eyeballs, and BMCs were obtained by the femoral cavity flushing.

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.
