Cidofovir Cytotoxicity Assay in Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded in 96-well flat bottom plates at densities that allowed exponential growth for the duration of the experiment. They were placed in the cell culture incubator overnight at 37 °C allowing the cells to attach, after which they were treated with concentrations of Cidofovir (Vistide, Gilead Sciences Inc, Foster City, CA USA) of 10, 100, 200 and 300 µM or PBS (control). At indicated time points post-treatment (3, 6 and 9 days), the MTT ((3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) was performed as previously described [32 (link)]. The experiments were performed in triplicate.

Cidofovir Treatment for Monkeypox Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Six male rhesus macaques housed in biosafety level 3 containment, weighing 3 to 4 kg, were infected intravenously with 5 × 107 plaque forming units of monkeypox virus (MPXV Zaire 79 strain [V-79-I-005]) (for virus preparation and inoculation procedures, see Additional file 1). Three animals were treated intravenously with cidofovir (5 mg/ml/kg in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium; Gilead Sciences, Foster City, CA, USA) that has been shown to protect against monkeypox virus infection. The antiviral agent, cidofovir, was administered on day −1 prior to monkeypox virus challenge and on days +1, +3, +5, +7, +10, and +13 after challenge. NHPs received 25 mg/kg of probenecid by gavage 1 h before cidofovir injection to prevent cidofovir nephrotoxicity. Three animals comprised the untreated control group.

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.
