Quantifying Antimicrobial Peptides in BAL

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

LL-37 (Hycult,Biotech, Netherlands), α-defensins-1,2,3 (Hycult Biotech, Netherlands), and β-defensin-2 (Pepro-Tech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) levels were analyzed as 50 μl of BAL fluid supernatant combined with 50 μl sample diluent from the above commercially available kits according to the manufactures’ instructions (Mallia et al., 2012 (link)). All measurements were performed twice for the same sample and results were averaged.

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.
