In order to reduce the number of passages and to use the cells at the same passage when preparing microvessels, primary HUVEC were thawed upon reception, amplified for two passages in EGM-2 and frozen again. When fabricating microvessels, cells were thawed in EGM-2, seeded in 21 cm2 culture dishes, cultured at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2/95% air, and used at 70–80% confluence. Cells were harvested by rinsing once with PBS, incubating with 0.25% trypsin-EDTA solution for 3 min at 37 °C in 5% CO2/95% air and collected in ECGM. Cells were passed through a 35 μm cell strainer to dissociate cell aggregates; stained with Trypan Blue and live cells were counted using a hemocytometer.
Na2hpo4
Na2HPO4 is a chemical compound commonly used in various laboratory applications. It is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. The primary function of Na2HPO4 is to serve as a buffer solution, maintaining a specific pH range in chemical reactions and processes.

Chondrocyte Culture Analysis Protocol
plates every 2 weeks during the culture period for quantification of total DNA and GAGs
content. After culture media was removed and washed with PBS, papain solution containing
300 µg/ml papain (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA)
in 20 mM Na2HPO4 (Wako), 2 mM dithiothreitol (Wako) and 1 mM EDTA
(Dojindo) was added to perform cell digestion. Digested chondrocytes were incubated with
papain solution for 18 hr at 60°C. The total DNA content was quantified by Hoechst 33258
assay (Wako) with a calf thymus DNA as a standard (Sigma-Aldrich) and detected with
350/460 nm filter set. Total GAGs content quantification was performed with cell lysate
and culture media to evaluate both GAGs accumulation and GAGs released in culture media.
Dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) assay (Sigma-Aldrich) was used with chondroitin sulphate as
a standard (Wako) and absorbance was measured at 525 nm, then normalized with DNA content.
Microplate reader (Infinite M200 Pro, Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland) was used for
measurement in both assays.

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.
