Co2 independent medium

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France

CO2-independent medium is a type of cell culture medium formulated to support cell growth and maintenance in the absence of a supplemental CO2 environment. It is designed to maintain the appropriate pH and nutrient levels for cell lines that do not require a CO2-enriched atmosphere.

Viral fusion was analyzed as described [29 (link)]. Briefly, day 5 DCs were plated into a 96-well plate in triplicates (1.5x105 cells/100μl) in RPMI in presence of 10mM Hepes (Life Technologies) and 2mg/ml DEAE-Dextran (Sigma-Aldrich). Cells were exposed to the indicated concentrations of non-opsonized (HIV) or complement-opsonized (HIV-C) HIV-1 containing Blam-Vpr. After 3 hours, cells were washed 2 times in CO2-independent medium (Life Technologies), re-suspended in CO2-independent medium containing 10% FCS and loaded with the CCF2-AM substrate solution (LiveBLAzer FRET-B/G Loading Kit with CCF2-AM, Life Technologies). After 2h incubation at room temperature (dark) cells were washed 2 times in CO2-independent medium, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min and respective wells were pooled for flow cytometric analysis.

Cells were plated on an 8 well 15 μ-Slide (Ibidi, Martinsried, Germany). CENP-P was depleted as previously described for 48 h prior to imaging. For asynchronous cells, FlpIn T-REx HeLa cells were transferred into CO2 Independent Medium (Gibco) 16 h before timelapse. Two hours before imaging SiR-Hoechst DNA dye (Spirochrome) was added. Timelapse demonstrating recovery from nocodazole treatment utilized U2OS cells drugged overnight with 330 nM nocodazole in CO2 Independent Medium (Gibco). SiR-Hoechst DNA dye (Spirochrome) was added into the nocodazole containing media 2 h before imaging. Cells were released from nocodazole by washing three times with PBS and then placed in CO2 Independent Media (Gibco) containing SiR-Hoechst DNA dye (Spirochrome). Where indicated, 0.5 μM Reversine was added to cells after release. Cells were imaged every 2 min for 12 h in a heated chamber (37°C) with a Deltavision Elite System. Images were acquired as Z-sections (using the softWoRx software from Deltavision) and converted into maximal intensity projections TIFF files for illustrative purposes.

U2OS or HEK293 cells expressing GFP–FAM35A or GFP–C20ORF196 were cultured at 37 °C in CO2-independent medium (Invitrogen) containing 10% FBS in a temperature-controlled container in glass-bottom dishes (MatTek). Laser microirradiation was carried out with the Micro-Point Laser Illumination and Ablation System (ANDOR) coupled to a Leica DMI8 microscope with a 63 × CS2 oil immersion objective. Images were acquired with ANDOR IQ3 software through an ANDOR IXON camera with ANDOR Dragonfly system.

Time-Lapse Migration Assay for Primary Fibroblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Time-lapse video migration experiments were performed as described with modifications [28 (link)]. For migration experiments, primary human fibroblast cells were plated on 35 mm2 culture dishes with CO2-independent medium (Invitrogen) and incubated for 24 hours. Immediately following irradiation, time-lapse images of the cell migration were captured every 30 minutes for 4 hour in an environmental chamber monitored under microscopy (ECLIPSE TE2000-E, Nikon Instruments, Tokyo, Japan) with the temperature maintained at 37 °C. The time-lapse videos were generated using Volocity Image Software (PerkinElmer) and were analyzed using Openlab Software (PerkinElmer) to measure cell migration speed. “Migration speed” is the average speed in μm per minute that the cells travel in a 4-hour period. The migration speed of 50 cells was measured from each group. Statistical analysis of data was performed using the paired two-tailed Student s t-test, significance level was set at p < 0.05. Migration experiments were repeated three times to verify data reproducibility and accuracy.

Live-cell Imaging of Cell Migration

Cells were plated in 12-well glass-bottomed imaging plates (MatTek) and cultured in CO2-independent medium (Invitrogen). Cell images were acquired using the Nikon TE2000-PFS inverted microscope (Nikon) enclosed in a humidified chamber maintained at 37°C. Cells were imaged every 10 minutes immediately after cell seeding with a 20× objective on five randomly selected fields per sample. Videos were generated with MetaMorph software (Molecular devices). For cell tracking analysis, the migration paths of 100 cells per sample were traced between 18 to 72 hours after cell seeding. Data were analyzed by Image-Pro Plus 6.0 (MediaCybernetics).

Pre-existing SNAP tagged gp135 protein was blocked using 0.32μM cell-permeable SNAP cell block (“BG block,” New England Biolabs) in serum-free medium at 37°C. Following removal of BG block by washing, cells were incubated for 30 min at 37°C to permit the synthesis of a new unblocked cohort of SNAP-gp135. Cells were washed with CO2-independent medium (Invitrogen) and suspended in a 19°C water bath for 80 min. During the last 20 min of this incubation, 150μg/ml cycloheximide was added to the medium to ensure that all newly synthesized protein had time to exit from the ER and that no new protein was synthesized. Cells were then washed twice with 37°C CO2-independent medium containing 150μg/ml cycloheximide and transferred to a 37°C water bath for 0 to 45 min.
In experiments using MyoVb-tail or Rab11-GFP, MDCK-S cells were transfected using Lipofectamine (Invitrogen) with the construct one day after being seeded onto Transwell filters.

GFP-NBS1, GFP-EXO1, GFP-Ku70, GFP-XLF, or GFP-XRCC4 were transfected into HCT116 DNA-PKcs +/+, −/−, or KD/− cells with JetPrime® (Polyplus) following the manufacturer's instructions. Twenty-four hours after the transfection laser micro-irradiation and real-time recruitment was performed with a Carl Zeiss Axiovert 200M microscope with a Plan-Apochromat 63X/NA 1.40 oil immersion objective (Carl Zeiss) as previously described (28 (link)). DSBs were generated with a 365-nm pulsed nitrogen laser (Spectra-Physics), which was directly coupled to the epifluorescence path of the microscope (28 (link)). Time-lapse images were taken via a Carl Zeiss AxioCam HRm camera. The cells were maintained in a CO2-independent medium (Invitrogen) at 37°C during micro-irradiation and time-lapse imaging. Fluorescence intensities of the micro-irradiated area and control area were determined by Carl Zeiss Axiovision software, v4.5, and the intensity of irradiated was normalized to non-irradiated control area as previously described (26 (link)).

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.
