Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PC determination was performed according to manufacturer’s instructions (Biophen Protein C, Aniara Diagnostica, OH) with minor modifications. Briefly, 25 μl of human control normal plasma (Biophen normal control plasma ref A223201) diluted 1:1 with sterile saline solution (0.9% NaCl) were incubated with 50 μl of protein C activator (Protac, 2 μM FP31W215A or 2 μM FP31WE) for 5 min at 37 °C in a 96-well plate. The amount of activated protein C was quantified by adding 125 μL of a solution of chromogenic substrate S-2366 (2.4 mM) (Diapharma Group, OH) and thrombin specific inhibitor argatroban (160 μM) (Sigma-Aldrich, MO) for 5 min at 37 °C. The reaction was quenched by addition of 150 μl citric acid and read at 405 nm. Mixing human control normal plasma with sterile saline solution to give 0, 25, 50 and 100% protein C generated standard calibration curves reported in Fig. 5A. Healthy control plasma was purchased from Innovative Research, MI and human abnormal control plasma depleted of protein C (ref A223301) was purchased from Biophen, Aniara Diagnostica, OH.

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.
