Ovarian carcinoma A2780 and paclitaxel-resistant A2780 (A2780/Taxol) ovarian carcinoma cell lines were purchased from Nanjing KeyGen Biotech Co., Ltd. (Nanjing, China). Cells were maintained in DMEM (A2780) or RPMI-1640 with 800 ng/ml paclitaxel (A2780/Taxol) supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin. The cells were cultured in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 at 37°C.

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.
