Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Central and peripheral GV oocytes were in vitro matured for 14 hours (metaphase II). Metaphase II oocytes were parthenogenetically activated by culturing the oocytes for 3 hours with 10 mM strontium chloride (Sigma-Aldrich, no. 255521) and cytochalasin D (5 μg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, no. C2743) in Ca2+/Mg2+-free CZB medium. The oocytes were then washed and transferred to kalium simplex optimized medium (KSOM) supplemented with cytochalasin D (5 μg/ml) for an additional 3 hours. The oocytes were then washed and cultured in KSOM for 48 hours before assessing embryo cleavage rates.

The oocytes were induced for diploid parthenogenetic development by 6 h incubation in potassium simplex optimized medium (KSOM; MR-121-D, EmbryoMax) supplemented with 5 mM strontium chloride (439665, Sigma-Aldrich), 2 mM EGTA (E3889, Sigma-Aldrich) and 5  μM cytochalasin B (C6762, Sigma-Aldrich) in a CO2 -incubator with 5% CO2 and 37°C, as described by Kishigami and Wakayama.20 (link) Then, the oocytes were washed and cultured in KSOM in a CO2 -incubator. The oocytes were observed after 24 and 72 h of incubation to assess the development and calculate two-cell embryos and blastocysts. Laser-treated and control groups were cultured in four-well dishes (Nunc) in separate wells.

Triple-distilled water (pH 7; second distillation performed over KMnO4 and KOH, both from POCh (Polish Chemical Reagents) to remove organic impurities), containing various electrolyte, was used as a subphase for the L-α-phosphatidylcholine from egg yolk monolayer. Electrolyte solutions (concentration range 5.0 × 10−5–5.0 × 10−3 mol dm−3) were prepared from triple-distilled water and strontium chloride (SrCl2, 99%), barium chloride (BaCl2, 99%), cadmium chloride (CdCl2, 99.9%), and lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2, 99%), purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The electrolyte was of p.a. purity and used without further purification. They contained no impurities with surface activity, since the subphases showed zero surface pressure before the spreading of the L-α-phosphatidylcholine from egg yolk.

Sr-MBGs nanoparticles have been prepared by using a base-catalysed sol-gel synthesis, following the procedure reported previously by the authors[16 ]. In particular, MBGs with 2% molar percentage of Sr (molar ratio Sr/Ca/Si = 2/13/85, named hereafter as MBG_Sr2%_SG) was prepared as follows: 6.6 g cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB ≥98%, Sigma Aldrich, Italy) and 12 mL NH4OH (Ammonium hydroxide solution, Sigma Aldrich, Italy) were dissolved in 600 mL of double distilled water (ddH2O) under stirring for 30 min. Then, 30 mL tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS, Tetraethyl orthosilicate, reagent grade 98%, Sigma Aldrich, Italy), 4.888 g of calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca (NO3)2·4H2O, 99%, Sigma Aldrich, Italy) and 0.428 g of strontium chloride (SrCl2 99%, Sigma Aldrich, Italy) were added under vigorous stirring for 3 h. The powder was collected by centrifugation (Hermle Labortechnik Z326) at 11,000 rpm for 5 min, washed one time with distilled water and two times with absolute ethanol. The final precipitate was dried at 70 °C for 12 h and calcined at 600 °C in air for 5 h at a heating rate of 1 °C min−1 using a Carbolite 1300 CWF 15/5, in order to remove CTAB. All the reagents were purchased from Sigma Aldrich, Italy and used as received.

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.
