This study analyzed the nuclease- and serum-driven degradation of millimeter-scale, circular DNA-histone mesostructures (DHMs). DHMs are bioengineered chromatin meshes of defined DNA and histone compositions designed as minimal mimetics of physiological extracellular chromatin structures, such as neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).

Questions

1–6 of 6 Questions  

  1. Is dialyzed human serum available?

    1 answer

    1. Dialyzed serum is not sold as a product. However, normal human serum (cat #s S1-LITER or S1-100ML) is available.
      Additionally, we provide various products that allow the client to dialyze the serum. Depending on the volume of serum to be dialyzed, any of the following products will work:
      •D-Tubes or Amicon Ultra for small volumes
      •Centricon Plus-70 for centrifuging 70 mL samples (cat # UFC701008)
      •Stirred cells along with 10 kDa MWCO ultrafiltration membrane discs for volumes up to 400 mL
