HSCs were cultured in media composed of F12 media, 1% ITSX, 1%, 10 mM HEPES, 1% P/S/G, 100 ng/ml mouse TPO, 10 ng/ml mouse SCF and 0.1% of one the following chemicals (all from Sigma): hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC; 435007), low-viscosity carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (CMC-LV; C5678), medium viscosity carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (CMC-MV; 21902), alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD; C4642), beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD; C4767), gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD; C4930), 2-hydroxypropyl-betal—cylodextrin (HBC; H107), 2-hydroxypropyl-gamma-cycldextrin (HGC; H125), methyl-beta-cylodextrin (MBC; C4555), poloxamer 188 (polox188; P5556), or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA; P8136, 363081, or 363146), at 37°C with 5% CO2. For long-term cultures in PVA-based cultures, complete media changes were made every 2–3 days after the first 5–6 days, as described above for albumin-based cultures. Long-term cultures were split 1:3 at ~90% confluency. Where indicated, lipopolysaccharide (LPS; Sigma L2762) or IL-6 (Peprotech) were added to cultures.

Synthesis of alpha-cyclodextrin conjugates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Alpha-cyclodextrin, N,N′-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), imidazole, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Milli Q water was generated using an Ultramatic Wasserlab purification system (Pamplona, Spain). For pH adjustment, 37% hydrochloric acid and 85% ortho-phosphoric acid (Scharlab, Madrid, Spain) were used. Analytical grade acetonitrile was purchased from Honeywell (Charlotte, NC, USA). Bentonites and zeolites were kindly provided by Nurel S.A. (Zaragoza, Spain).

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.
