Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human keratinocytes (HaCaT) were commercially procured from Shanghai EK-Bioscience Biotechnology Co., Ltd. HaCaT cells and the isolated splenocytes from mice were maintained in Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium (DMEM, Sigma Aldrich) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; F2442, Sigma Aldrich). A humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 37°C was used to incubate the cells. The isolated splenocytes were resuspended in DMEM (Sigma Aldrich) supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma Aldrich). Splenocytes were stimulated with anti-CD3 (1 lg/ml; BD pharMingen, San Diego, CA, USA) or anti-CD3 plus interleukin (IL)-6 (20 ng/ml; peproTech, London, UK) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β; 1 ng/ml; PeproTech) in the presence or absence of triptolide for 4 d.

Human immortalized epidermal cell line (HaCaT, #BNCC101683) was obtained from BeNa culture collection. A total of five human melanoma cell lines used in this study, including 451Lu cell line, A-375, VMM5A, SK-MEL-1 and G-361 cell lines. Only the first cell line was kindly provided by Dr. MeenhardHerlyn (Wistar Institute, PA, USA), the rest four ones were all purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (#CRL-1619, #CRL-3226, #HTB-67 and #CRL-1424™). HaCaT cells were cultured with Minimum Essential Medium (MEM, #56419C, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and all melanoma cell lines were incubated with Dulbecco’s modified eagle’s medium (DMEM, #D5030, Sigma-Aldrich). Both cell culture mediums contained 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, #10099141, ThermoScientific, Hudson, NH, USA) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and then the cells were kept in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 37 °C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human epidermal keratinocytes (HaCaT; CLS GmbH, Eppelheim, Germany) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; GenDEPOT, Katy, TX, United States) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; GenDEPOT), 100 U penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (GenDEPOT). The cells were then incubated in a humidified incubator with 5% carbon dioxide (CO2)/95% air. Cells (1 × 104 cells) were plated in a 96-well plate (SPL Life Sciences, Pocheon, Korea) and stabilized for 24 h. The dried EJ-AuNPs or EJ was diluted with serum-free medium (SFM) at concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml. After the cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), diluted EJ-AuNPs solution was added to the cells and incubated for a further 24 h. To compare the cytotoxic effect of EJ-AuNPs, only SFM and commercial dexamethasone (20 μg/ml)-containing SFM were added to the cells. The cytotoxic effects of EJ-AuNPs against HaCaT cells were measured using a conventional 3-(4,5-cimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States) and a live/dead cell staining kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Cambridge, MA, United States), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
