E. coli Asparaginase Sensitivity Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All experiments used E. coli asparaginase. For in vitro asparaginase sensitivity and combination experiments, we used DMEM medium with 862 mg/L of GlutaMAX (Gibco, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and 10% fetal bovine serum. Treatment was with Elspar® asparaginase (Lundbeck Inc., Deerfield, IL). For neurosphere cultures and assays, DMEM/F12 media (with 365 mg/L of L-glutamine and 7.5 mg/L of L-asparagine; Gemini Bio-Products, Sacramento, CA) was used with a one-time addition of L-glutamine. For glutamine rescue (at 1 and 10 mM) and ASNS PCR related experiments, DMEM without L-asparagine or L-glutamine (Cellgro, Manassas, VA) was used, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. ASNase was from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO; for animal treatment) or ProSpec (Ness-Ziona, Israel; for ASNS PCR experiments). Temozolomide (CGeneTech, Indianapolis, IN) was dissolved in DMSO. The same amounts of DMSO (1%) were also used for control and ASNase treatment groups (without temozolomide).

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.
