Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The CTX12 cell line is a conditionally immortalised mouse NPC line derived from E12-5 mouse cortex that has been generated in-house at King’s College London by Dr. Bithell and Dr. Williams. Cells were grown on poly-d-lysine (PDL)/laminin-coated plastic (Sigma) in modified Sato’s medium (modified Satos medium: Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM)/F12 supplemented with 5.6 mg/ml glucose, 100 μg/ml bovine serum albumin (BSA), 16 μg/ml putrescine, 60 ng/ml progesterone, 400 ng/ml l-thyroxine, 300 ng/ml 3,3′,5-triiodothyronine, 5 μg/ml insulin, 5 μg/ml apo-transferrin, 5 ng/ml sodium selenite, 1× glutamine, 1× pen/strep) containing 10 ng/ml fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), 20 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (EGF) and 100 nM 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT). Medium was changed every 2–3 days and cells passaged using trypsin-EDTA and trypsin inhibitor (Sigma). For astrocyte differentiation, CTX12 cells were plated at 0.5 × 105 cells/cm2 and cultured in modified Sato’s medium with 10 % foetal bovine serum (FBS) or 20 ng/ml bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) (Peprotech and R&D Systems). Where indicated, cells were treated with additional factors: noggin (500 ng/ml), TNF-α (50 ng/ml) (Peprotech) and JSH-23 nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) Activation Inhibitor II (JSH-23, 10 μM, Santa Cruz).

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.
