L-Glu is a laboratory reagent used for the measurement of glutamic acid levels. It is a colorless, crystalline powder that is soluble in water and other polar solvents. L-Glu is commonly used in biochemical and enzymatic assays to quantify glutamic acid concentrations in various samples, such as biological fluids, food, and environmental samples.

Primary neurons were isolated from the hippocampus of E16-E18 mice and seeded in cell climbing slices (Corning, 354087) or plates that were coated with poly-D-lysine (5 μg/mL, Sigma, P0899-10). Approximately 1 × 105 cells per well were seeded for a slice, while 1.5 million cells per well were seeded for a 6-well-plate. After growing in the plating medium for 4 h, which consisted of MEM (Gibco,11095-080), 10% FBS (Gibco,10091-148), 1% L-Glu (Gibco, 5030-149), 1% sodium pyruvate (Gibco, 11360-070), and 0.45% D-glucose (Amresco, 0188), the medium was changed to a maintaining medium that consisted of neurobasal (Gibco, 21103-049), 0.25% L-Glu (Gibco, 25030-149), 0.125% GlutaMax (Thermo, 35050061), and 2% B27 (Gibco, 17504-044).

The fetal cortex was dissected from the brain of E15 mice pups and treated with 0.25% trypsin at 37°C for 30 min. Around 150,000 cortical neurons were plated onto a cell climbing slice (Corning) coated with poly-D-lysine (5 μg/mL, Sigma, P0899-10). Neurons were cultured with DMEM (Gibco, 11095-080) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, 10091-148), 1% L-Glu (Gibco, 5030-149), and 1% sodium pyruvate (Gibco, 11360-070) for 4 h. The medium was replaced with neurobasal medium (Gibco, 21103-049) supplemented with 2% B27 (Gibco, 17504-044), 0.25% L-Glu (Gibco, 25030-149), and 0.125% Glutamax (Thermo, 35050061).
Neonatal mice (postnatal day 1–3) were sacrificed, and cortical and hippocampi regions were dissected out under a microscope. The tissues were digested with 0.25% trypsin (Gibco, 25200072) for 25 min at 37°C to dissociate into single cell suspensions. About 1 × 107 cells were plated onto one poly-D-lysine-coated T25 culture flask with DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% antibiotic-antimycotic, and 2 mM L-Glutamine, and the medium was replaced every 2 days. After culture for 7–10 days, samples were put on a shaker (240 rpm) for 12 h at 37°C, and the medium was completely replaced with fresh culture medium.

HEK-293-transfected
and wt cell lines were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s
medium (DMEM Glutamax, 4 mM l-glu and 4.50 g/L glucose—Gibco,
Ireland) supplemented with heat-inactivated (30 min at 56C) 10% (v/v)
FBS (Invitrogen, U.K.), 50 U penicillin, and 50 μg of streptomycin
(Invitrogen, U.K.). As stably double-transfected FPR2+/Gαq+ HEK-293 cells were resistant to Geneticin and
Hygromycin, these were used as selective antibiotics (500 and 100
μg/mL, respectively) to maintain the stable double transfection
with the ALX/FPR2 receptor and the Gαq subunit coupled
to it. Immediately prior to calcium measurement, fluorescently labeled
cells were treated with 10–11/–9/–7M LXA41 or sLXms using an injection system
coupled to the fluorescence reader.

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.
