After conditioning, the medium is filtered through[r]
GI TISSUE1. Use the submerged technique for tissue culture (Chapter 18). Place the tissue segments (oneper tube) immediately after excision in the appropriate EMEM to deplete the compound tobe used as label. Incubate for 30 min in 100 µL per tube to deplete this compound.2. Add 100 µCi (3700 kBq) of[r]
