Deriving Immortalized Pancreatic Fibroblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pMAFs were derived from mCherry-GFP-LC3 homozygous mice (kindly provided by Ian Ganley, The University of Dundee). After aseptic dissection, the pancreas was finely minced and digested in a “liberase blendzyme” (Roche, 05401020001) for 60 min at 37°C. Tissue fragments were then plated onto 10-cm culture dishes and allowed to attach. Fibroblasts were seen to “crawl” out of the tissue for up to 10 d. These fibroblasts were harvested and sub-cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (GlutaMAX supplemented, Life Technologies, 72,400,021) with 10% FCS, 50 µM of 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma Aldrich, M6250) and 50 µM of asparagine (Sigma Aldrich, A4159). The fibroblasts divide rapidly for a few divisions, then slow down and cell numbers remain constant or decline slightly for up to 6–8 weeks. Following on from this “crisis” the cells once again return to fast replication at which point they are considered immortal and suitable for use in ongoing studies.

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.
