MCF7, MDA-MB-453, A-431, H1781, H1819, Calu-3, BT-474, SKBR3, and NCI-N87 cell lines were purchased from the ATCC. MCF7, MDA-MB-453, and A-431 were cultured in DMEM; H1781, H1819, Calu-3, and NCI-N87 in RPMI-1640; BT-474 in ATCC HybriCare Medium with 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate; SKBR3 in the ATCC-formulated McCoy’s 5a Medium Modified. To make the complete medium, all media were supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% streptomycin/penicillin. All cells used in this study were periodically tested negative for Mycoplasma using the Mycoplasma Plus PCR Primer Kit (Agilent). All patient-derived cancer cells or tumor spheroids in this study were collected and studied according to the Declaration of Helsinki and DFCI IRBs. DFCI 429 was established from a pleural effusion sample. Next-Generation Sequencing confirmed de novo HER2 amplification. DFCI315 and DFCI359 were characterized to harbor HER2 exon20 V777_G778insGSP and HER2 exon19 755_757LREdelinsRP, respectively (23 (link)). Xenograft tumors were processed for short-term ex vivo as previously described (23 (link)). The spheroids in a range of 40 to 70 μmol/L were resuspended in type I collagen (Corning) and loaded into the DAX-1 3-D cell culture chip (AIM Biotech). After solidification, the media were applied to the outer channels with indicated drugs.

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.
