Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
X-MAN™ HCT116 Parental and HCT116 PTEN-/- cells and HFF cells were seeded alone or with a 1:1 ratio in 35 mm plates (Falcon BD, Oxford, UK) in RPMI 1640 (Euroclone, Milan, Italy) supplemented with 10% inactivated FBS (Gibco, Life Technologies, California, USA), as previously described. After 24 h, culture media were replaced with serum-free DMEM (Euroclone, Milan, Italy) containing different drug concentrations alone or in combination. After 72 h of treatment, cells were suspended in ice-cold RPMI 1640 (Euroclone, Milan, Italy) supplemented with 10% inactivated FBS (Gibco, Life Technologies, California, USA). The total amount of cells was counted using the Thoma chamber and the percentage of CRC and HFF cells were analyzed by flow cytometry analysis that allows to differentiate between HFF cellular populations, fluorescently labeled in comparison to unlabeled X-MAN™ isogenic HCT116 cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Resident mouse peritoneal macrophages were isolated from the peritoneal cavity by washing with ice-cold PBS as previously described (21 (link)). Briefly, after centrifugation, the cells were resuspended in RPMI 1640 (Euroclone) supplemented with 5% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, 50 IU of penicillin/ml, and 50 µg/ml of streptomycin. Cells were then seeded into the wells of 96-well dishes at a density of 5 × 105/well and incubated at 37°C in a 5% humidified CO2 environment. After 24 h, nonadherent cells were removed by washing with medium. Adherent cells were stimulated with increasing multiplicities of infection (MOIs; 1, 5, and 10 µg/ml) of GBS. All infections were carried out by centrifuging bacteria onto cell monolayers for 10 min at 400 × g in order to facilitate bacterial adherence. The number of viable bacteria used in each experiment was carefully determined by plate counting. After incubation at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 25 min, the monolayers were incubated for 18 h in the presence of penicillin (250 IU/ml) and streptomycin (250 µg/ml) to limit the growth of residual extracellular bacteria. In further experiments, cells were stimulated with increasing doses of heat-killed GBS (1, 5, and 10 µg/ml). Cell culture supernatants were collected at 18 h after stimulation to measure cytokine levels.

In Vitro Antimalarial Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Pf strains D10 (CQ-sensitive), and W-2 (CQ-resistant) were cultured in vitro as described by Trager and Jensen with minor modifications [60 (link)]. Parasites were maintained at 5% hematocrit (human type A-positive red blood cells) in RPMI 1640 (EuroClone, Celbio) medium with the addition of 10% heat inactivate human serum, 20 mM Hepes and 2 mM glutamine (Euroclone). The cultures were maintained at 37 °C in a standard gas mixture consisting of 1–3% O2, 5% CO2, and 92–94% N2. Compounds were dissolved in either water or DMSO and then diluted with medium to achieve the required concentrations (final DMSO concentration <1%, which is non-toxic to the parasite). Asynchronous cultures of Pf with parasitaemia of 1–1.5% and 1% final hematocrit were aliquoted into 96-well flat-bottom microplates (COSTAR) with serial dilutions of test compounds and incubated for 72 h at 37 °C. Parasite growth was determined spectrophotometrically (OD650) by measuring the activity of the parasite lactate dehydrogenase (pLDH) according to a modification of the method of Makler in control and drug-treated cultures [61 (link)]. The antimalarial activity is expressed as 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50); each IC50 value is the mean and standard deviation of at least three separate experiments performed in duplicate [62 (link)].

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.
