Ba/F3 cells were plated (2,500 cells per well) in the presence of 1 μM etoposide (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mM 3-methyladenine (Sigma-Aldrich), or both. SA cells were plated (4,000 cells per well) in the presence of 5 μM etoposide, 5 mM 3-methyladenine (Sigma-Aldrich), or both. For the radiosensitivity test, 2 h following drug treatment, Ba/F3 cells were irradiated with x-rays (4 Gy) at a dose rate of 220 cGy/min. Cytotoxic effects were measured using an MTS assay. The percentage of growth inhibition was calculated as follows: growth inhibition (%) = (1-A of experiment well/A of negative control well)×100% (where A is absorbance, and the negative control is non-treated cells).

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.
