The RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cell line was obtained from the Korea Cell Line Bank (Seoul, Korea) and maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, L-glutamine (2 mM), penicillin (100 U/ml) and streptomycin (100 U/ml) (all from WelGENE Inc., Daegu, Korea) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 and 95% air. Schisandrin A was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (cat. no. SML0054; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany), dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) and final concentrations were adjusted by dilution with complete culture medium. The DMSO concentration did not exceed 0.05% (i.e., a non-cytotoxic range). To stimulate the cells, the medium was replaced with fresh DMEM, and LPS (E. coli Serotype 055:B5; cat. no. L2880; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) was added in the presence or absence of Schisandrin A for the indicated periods.

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.
