How can you use “hypotonic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The cell pellet was washed once in cold phosphate-buffered saline and subsequently resuspended in hypotonic lysis buffer (10 mM Tris.Cl, pH 7.9, 10 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 2 μg/ml pepstatin, 2 μg/ml leupeptin, 5 μg/ml aprotinin, 1 mM dithiothreitol).
The cells were transferred to microfuge tubes, pelleted (5 seconds at 14,000 rpm, Eppendorf 5415C, 4°C) and resuspended in hypotonic Buffer A (10 mM K-HEPES pH 7.9, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 , and 10 mM KCl, with inhibitors added as for the media above) for 15 minutes on ice.
After lysis of cells in hypotonic buffer followed by high-speed centrifugation, α i2 was found predominantly in the particulate fraction from COS (Figure 2E, lanes 3 and 4) or BHK cells (Figure 2E, lanes 9 and 10).
Tetraethylammonium is known as a pore-occluding blocker of voltage-gated potassium channels [ 1 ] , but it also blocks other cationic channels such as calcium-dependent K +channels [ 2 3 ] and the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor [ 4 ] . TEA at 0.1 to 10 mM also inhibits osmotic water flux through human AQP1 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes, decreasing the net swelling rate in hypotonic saline by 30-40% as compared to AQP1-expressing oocytes not treated with TEA [ 5 ] . This blocking effect on osmotic water flux was demonstrated to involve AQP1 channels specifically by using site-directed mutagenesis (tyrosine 186 to phenylalanine) to generate a Y186F AQP1 channel that is insensitive to block by TEA, but retains sensitivity to block by mercury.
Cell lysates for ubiquitylation assays were prepared by hypotonic lysis on ice in 20 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 15 mM MgCl 2 , 5 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 10 μg/ml leupeptin, 10 μg/ml pepstatin, 1 mM PMSF, 17 μg/ml aprotinin as described previously [ 30 ] . Lysates were cleared by centrifugation and used without prior freezing.
