Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pBabe-puro-HA-PIK3CA and pBabe-puro-HA-PIK3CA-E545K were purchased from Addgene (#12522 and #12525 respectively). Retrovirus were produced by transfecting 293T cells with the expression plasmids and the two packaging vectors VSVG and pHIT60, using PEI (3μg per ug of DNA). Viral supernatants were collected after 72h, filtered though a 0.45μm filter and used to infect target cells in addition with Polybrene (8μg/ml, SantaCruz). After 24h, cells were washed and put under antibiotic selection for 96h (Puromycin 1μg/ml).

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.
