Igf 1

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States

IGF-1 is a laboratory assay used to measure the levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in biological samples. IGF-1 is a hormone that plays a crucial role in growth and development. The IGF-1 assay provides quantitative information about the concentration of this hormone, which can be used to assess various physiological and clinical conditions.

Induction of ESSC Proliferation and Differentiation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
E18 ESSCs were cultured using the NeuroCult NS-A Proliferation Kit and NeuroCult NS-A Differentiation Kit (rat) from Stem Cell Technologies, for the induction of proliferation and differentiation, respectively. The growth factor supplements consisting of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1, Sigma I 8779), leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF, Sigma L 5158), epidermal growth factor (EGF, Sigma E 4127) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF, Sigma F 0291) were purchased from Sigma. The concentrations of these growth factors used were 20 ng/mL for the EGF and bFGF, 100 ng/mL for the IGF-1 and 20 ng/mL for the LIF, in accordance with our recently published report [7 (link)]. The ESSCs were plated in T-25 culture flasks (BD Falcon) in triplicate, under five different conditions (Figure 1): group A (no growth factor); group B (EGF + bFGF); group C (EGF + bFGF + LIF); group D (EGF + bFGF + IGF-1); and group E (EGF + bFGF + LIF + IGF-1).

Human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells, HT-29, Lovo, and HCT-116 were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). Antibodies for ATF3 were purchased from Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Antibodies for GSK3β, PARP, actin, phospho-AKT (Ser473) and total AKT were purchased from Cell Signaling (Beverly, MA, USA). The trans-10, cis-12 CLA (t10, c12-CLA) was purchased from Natural Lipids (Hovdebygda, Norway). The t10, c12-CLA preparation was 94 % pure, with 2% cis-9, trans-11 isomer (c9, t11-CLA) and 3% other conjugated linoleic acid isomers. IGF-1 was purchased from BD Biosciences (Bedford, MA, USA). Human ATF3 promoter constructs were previously reported (Lee et al., 2010a (link)). All chemicals were purchased from Fisher Scientific, unless otherwise specified.

To determine the impact viral infection has on the airway milieu, we measured proteins by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. We measured the amount of Mucin 5AC in the apical wash of primary bronchial cells with a precoated ELISA kit from CUSABIO (Wuhan, China). IFNα (pbl IFN Source, Piscataway, NJ, USA), IFNγ and IGF-1 (BD Biosciences) were measured in undiluted BAL fluid following the manufacturer's protocols.

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.
