Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured in Medium 199 supplemented with 20% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 100 U/mL penicillin, 0.1 mg/mL streptomycin, 2 mM l-glutamine, 1 µg/mL heparin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and 10 µg/mL endothelial cell growth factor supplement (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Cells from passage 1 or 4 were used in all experiments. Cells grown to confluence were pretreated with INF-γ (400 U/mL) at 37°C for 24 h. After three washes with PBS, the cells were incubated with medium alone, recombinant human CTLA4-Ig (hum/hum) or recombinant human IgG1-Fc isotype control (both from BioXCell, Lebanon, NH, USA) for an additional 24 h. Unstimulated HUVECs were used as controls. The supernatants were collected for the determination of IDO activity by HPLC.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Human Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells (HBMVEC) were obtained from iXCells Biotechnologies (San Diego, CA 92121, USA). The cells were cultured according to the standard protocol given by the manufacturer. The cells were grown in 96-well plates in CS-C medium (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 5% FBS (Sigma), 1% endothelial cell growth factor supplement (Sigma), and 1% penicillin solution (Sigma), and incubated at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator.

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.
