NMUr Cytotoxicity Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded 100 000 cells/well in 6-well plates (total volume: 2 mL) 24 h before they were exposed to NMUr for 1 h (0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 75, 100, or 200 μM). At 1 h, porcine liver esterase (1 unit/well, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was added to inactivate any extracellular NMUr. This step removed excess NMUr in order to reduce variation between experiment replicates. Each treatment was performed in duplicate. After 48 h, three 50-μL aliquots were removed from each well and combined with 50 μL of CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability reagent (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI) in 96-well plates and incubated for 20 min on a shaker. The plates were analyzed using a Synergy H1Multi-Mode Reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT) operating in the luminescent mode with an acquisition gain of 134 according to manufacturer’s instructions. Cell survival was normalized to the luminescence of the cells treated with 0 μM NMUr. IC20, IC50, and IC80 values were determined using the Gen5Microplate Reader and Imager Software. Seventeen cell lines were repeated at a different time to determine the technical variation of the assay. The IC20 values varied by 13% ± 13%, and the IC50 values varied by 10% ± 10%.

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.
