problem with retroviral infection of MEFs

... from Pheonix cell and infect MEFs for 1st time. Afternoon: repeat 2nd infection about 6 hours after 1st infection Note: 1. MEFs are in 45~75% confluence during the 1st infection. 2. I use Polybrene at at a final concentration of 5ug/ml. 3. Some times, I use viral supernatant stock which is ...

Bacteria and disinfectants

... wrong, in spite of what your teacher told you. Bacteriostatic or bactericidic do not change the result: once the colonies have grown in a lawn (to confluence), you won't see a difference if they die (they usually do not melt away, the walls are still there) or if they simply stop growing... or ...

... be used (e.g., the human actin promoter). The engineered fibroblasts are then injected into the host, either alone or after having been grown to confluence on cytodex 3 microcarrier beads. The fibroblasts now produce the protein product. The fibroblasts can then be introduced into a patient as ...

... 42h exposure at 10 microT, and 17% at 100microT; although longer exposures for 90h were without effect, possibly because the cells have reached confluence, at which point they stop growing, and are no longer sensitive to EMFs. The growth promoting effect of EMF exposure is of especial relevance ...
