LPS-Induced Inflammatory Response in BV-2 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BV-2 cells were exposed to 1 μg/ml LPS for 6 h to stimulate the inflammatory response. For the LPS groups, cells incubated with culture medium served as the control. BV-2 microglial cells in the LPS + PK11195 or LPS + midazolam groups were pretreated with 0.5 μM PK11195 or 15 μM midazolam for 1 h and then exposed to LPS for 6 h. Subsequently, the medium of the different groups was collected. IL-1β (Dakewe, Beijing, China) and IL-18 (Multi Sciences, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China) that the cells had secreted into the culture supernatant were measured by ELISAs according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
