The SNF96.2 is a laboratory equipment product offered by American Type Culture Collection. It serves as a centrifuge designed to separate and isolate biological materials, such as cells or cellular components, based on their density differences when subjected to centrifugal force. The core function of the SNF96.2 is to facilitate the purification and analysis of various biological samples through the process of sedimentation.

One HSC line and two MPNST cell lines (sNF02.2, sNF96.2) were purchased from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection, ATCC). Five MPNST cell lines (ST88-14, STS26T, T265, S462, and S462TY) were kindly granted by Prof. Vincent Keng (Li X.X. et al., 2018 (link)) and Prof. Jilong Yang (Du et al., 2013 (link)). All MPNST cell lines were derived from NF1 patients, except STS26T. Cell lines were maintained in DMEM, 10% FBS and penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, United States) and were tested mycoplasma negative every 3 months. Verification of cell lines was confirmed by Short Tandem Repeat DNA profiling (Applied Biological Materials Inc., Canada).

Schwann Cell Culture and ILB Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human Schwann cells (sNF96.2, ATCC CRL-2884™, ATCC, Teddington, UK) were cultured in 25 cm2 culture flasks coated with poly-d-lysine and laminin) in high-glucose DMEM with 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS) (n = 8) and incubated at 37 °C/5%CO2. Twenty-four hours after seeding (Day 0) cells were treated once with either ILB® (0.01 mg/ml in DMEM) (n = 3) or culture media (n = 3). The remaining 2 flasks of Schwann cells were used as the baseline cultures. After 48 h with treatment, the media were removed and cells were harvested in 2.5 ml Trizol:Water (4:1) solution containing 0.5 ml of chloroform at room temperature (RT). The flasks were inspected under the microscope to ensure full removal of cells. The collected lysates were stored at −80 °C.

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.
