A total of 1.5x10 4 cells were plated in 96-well plates in triplicate and were grown to 30-50% confluency at the time of transfection. The siRNA-Lipo-fectamine™ 2000 complex (50 µl) was administered to each well containing 100 µl DMEM without FCS. The medium was replaced with DMEM containing 10% (vol/vol) FCS at 6 h of transfection. MTT (20 µl; 5 mg/ml; Solarbio Technology) diluted in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) was added to the medium at 24, 48 and 72 h after the transfection. After an incubation for 4 h, the medium was removed and the cells remained at the bottom of the wells. Dimethyl sulfoxide (200 µl; Solarbio Technology) was added to each well to dissolve the formazan crystals in the cells. The absorbance was measured using a microplate reader (MK3; Thermo Labsystems Inc., Beverly, MA, USA) at 540 nm to determine the quantities of viable cells. All experiments were performed in triplicate. Data were normalized to their respective controls and presented as a bar graph.

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.
