This antibiotic solution is used to reduce or eliminate bacterial contamination in primary cell cultures. It is recommended for us at 10 mL/L.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Mode of Action: The product acts in three ways: Glutamine is an essential energy source for most mammalian cells in culture due to its amino acid carbon skeleton. Penicillin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis. Streptomycin inhibits prokaryote protein synthesis by preventing the transition from initiation complex to chain-elongating ribosome, causing miscoding.
Antimicrobial spectrum: This product acts against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.
Components
This solution is formulated to contain 200 mM L-glutamine, 10,000 units of Penicillin and 10 mg/mL of streptomycin, solubilized in a proprietary buffer.
Cells are covered with glycans. The expression and distribution of specific glycans on the surface of a cell are important for various cellular functions. Imaging these glycans is essential to aid elucidation of their biological roles. Here, utilizing methods of
Paradoxically, early host responses to infection include the upregulation of the antiphagocytic molecule, CD47. This suggests that CD47 blockade could enhance antigen presentation and subsequent immune responses. Indeed, mice treated with anti-CD47 monoclonal antibody following lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infections show

Standard cell culturing on plastic plates (two dimensional (2D) cultures) does not represent the actual microenvironment where cells reside in tissues. The three dimensional (3D) systems, composed of extracellular matrix and/or pure amino acids which form a scaffold for cells

Background Pressure overload of the heart occurs in patients with hypertension or valvular stenosis and induces cardiac fibrosis because of excessive production of extracellular matrix by activated cardiac fibroblasts. This initially provides essential mechanical support to the heart, but eventually
