MCM7 overexpressing stable cell lines were generated using the WT-MCM7 and Mut-MCM7 overexpression plasmids (OriGene Technologies). Plasmids were linearised using PsiI (New England Biolabs, Frankfurt am Main, Germany), and DNA band elusion was performed using the NucleoSpin Gel and PCR Clean-up kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany) according to the user manual. N2a cells were plated on six-well plates and incubated 48 hours at 37°C. Cells were transfected overnight using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent (Invitrogen) reduced serum medium (Opti-MEM GlutaMAX supplement, Gibco) and 2 µg of linearised overexpression plasmids without antibiotics. Trypsinisation was performed as previously described and cells were plated and incubated overnight at 37°C. Geneticin (600 µg/mL, G-418 Solution; Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) was added to the cells, and the medium was changed every 48 hours for 7 days to obtain only cells with the integrated MCM7 overexpression plasmids.
Opti mem glutamax supplement
Opti-MEM GlutaMAX supplement is a cell culture medium that provides essential nutrients for the growth and maintenance of cells in vitro. It contains a modified version of Opti-MEM I Reduced Serum Medium, which is supplemented with GlutaMAX, a stable L-glutamine alternative. The supplement is designed to support cell viability and proliferation in various cell culture applications.

Cell Culture and Transfection Protocols
U251 cells (09063001-1VL; Sigma-Aldrich) were cultured in MEM (Gibco) containing 10% FBS (Gibco), 2 mM glutamine, 1% nonessential amino acids, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. All cell lines tested negative for mycoplasma contamination.
Primary forebrain neurons and cortical neurons were dissected from E15.5 mouse embryos, plated onto cell culture dishes coated with 1 mg/ml poly-
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.
