Fresh tumor specimens (0.3-4 mL) obtained from GC patients (Table 1) were disaggregated into single cell suspension in DMEM/F12 medium (Biosera, France) containing collagenase type I (Gibco, USD)
(300 U.mL-1), penicillin (Biosera) (500 U.mL-1), streptomycin (Biosera) (500 mg.mL-1), and amphotericin B (Biosera) (1.25 mg.mL-1) at 37 °C for 2 hr. The cells (1 × 105 cell.mL-1) were cultivated in epidermal growth factor (EGF) 20 ng.mL-1 (Gibco), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) 10 ng.mL-1 (Gibco), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) 10 ng.mL-1 (ProSpec, Israel), heparin 4 μg.mL-1 (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany), B-27 supplement 2% (Gibco), penicillin 100 U.mL-1, and streptomycin 100 μg.mL-1, and HEPES 8 mM (Biosera) in DMEM/F12 medium in T-25 ultra-low attachment flask (Corning, USA) at 37 °C for 1-2 months in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator to generate spheres.

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.
