Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were transfected with mimic pre-miRNA for miR146a or miR147b (mirVana miRNA mimics, Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 24 hours as described previously (van Scheppingen et al. 2016b) .
Astrocyte cultures were stimulated with human recombinant (r)IL-1 β (10 ng/ml; Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 100 ng/ml; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 24 hours. Viability of human cell cultures was not influenced by the treatments (as shown previously; (van Scheppingen et al. 2016a )). To examine the effect of the IκB kinase-2 (IKK-2) inhibitor TPCA-1 in astrocyte cultures, treatment with 1 or 5 µM TPCA-1 (Selleck Chemicals, Munich, Germany) in DMSO (0.05% final DMSO concentration) was started 1 hour before stimulation with IL-1β was initialized, and treatment was continued during stimulation.

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.
