General description

Foetal Bovine Serium remains a popular media supplement because it provides a wide array of functions in cell culture. Foetal Bovine Serum delivers nutrients, growth and attachment factors and protects cells from oxidative damage and apoptosis by mechanisms that are difficult to reproduce in serum-free media (SFM) systems.

Application

Endotoxin and hemoglobin tested

Analysis Note

  • Endotoxin and hemoglobin tested
  • Tested for the presence of bacteria, virus, and mycoplasma
  • Triple filtered with 0.1 micron membrane under aseptic conditions

Storage Class

12 - Non Combustible Liquids

Trypan blue is a dye that has been widely used for selective staining of dead tissues or cells. Here, we show that the pore-forming toxin HlyII of Bacillus cereus allows trypan blue staining of macrophage cells, despite the cells remaining

Meningococcal invasive isolates of the ST-11 clonal complex are most frequently associated with disease and rarely found in carriers. Unlike carriage isolates, invasive isolates induce apoptosis in epithelial cells through the TNF-α signaling pathway. While invasive and non-invasive isolates are

Fasciolosis is a hepatic parasitic infection that affects many mammal species and creates a great economic and veterinary problem. Molecular mechanisms of parasite-hepatocyte interactions have not been precisely characterized yet. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate alterations

Autophagy receptor p62/SQSTM1 promotes the assembly and removal of ubiquitylated proteins by forming p62 bodies and mediating their encapsulation in autophagosomes. Here we show that under nutrient-deficient conditions, cellular p62 specifically undergoes acetylation, which is required for the formation and

Proteasome inhibitors exhibit cytotoxic against tumours of different histology. However, the mechanism of apoptosis induction by these compounds remains unclear and is likely to be a complex cascade of events. Bcl-2-associated athanogene (BAG) family proteins are characterized by their property
