Stock Solution Working Solution

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Protocol 1

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline

Solubility: ≥ 0.62 mg/mL (1.50 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.62 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (6.2 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

Protocol 2

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

Solubility: ≥ 0.62 mg/mL (1.50 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.62 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (6.2 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

Protocol 3

Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% Corn Oil

Solubility: ≥ 0.62 mg/mL (1.50 mM); Clear solution

This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 0.62 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (6.2 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Working Solution

For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly:

It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.

The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Protocol

Cell Assay^[2]

MGC803 cells are cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute media supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum and 100 U/mL Penicillin and 100 mg/mL Streptomycin. To generate MGC803-resistant cells, the pH value of the MGC803 culture medium is adjusted to the experimental conditions using the hydrochloric acid (A). The bile acids GCDA and Deoxycholic acid are diluted to optimal working concentrations of 100 μM (B) with culture medium, and the overall pH (A+B) is adjusted to pH 5.5, simulating the gastric environment. Initially, MGC803 cells are chronically exposed to acidified medium with bile acids (A+B) for 10 min every 24 h. The experimental time and conditions are optimized in our preliminary experiments, which show that 10 min is enough and does not result in cell damage. This procedure is repeated and it takes 60 weeks for the MGC803 cells to survive and proliferate under the exposure of A+B for 120 min. Control untreated cells are cultured in neutral RPMI medium at pH 7.4 in parallel to the resistant cells for 60 weeks. The morphological changes in MGC803 cells exposed to acidified bile acids (A+B) are documented at 30 and 60 weeks^[2].

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
