['h2'],smoothScroll: false" itemprop="text"><div id="ncipr73.s1"><h2 id="_ncipr73_s1_">1. Introduction</h2><p>Mycoplasma is a microorganism that lacks a nucleus and a cell wall which makes it unaffected by many antibiotics. Nanoparticles submitted to the NCL may be subjected to testing for mycoplasma when deemed necessary. The types of nanoparticle formulations generally tested for mycoplasma contamination include those that incorporate a component derived from an animal or hybridoma cultures.</p></div><div id="ncipr73.s2"><h2 id="_ncipr73_s2_">2. Principle</h2><p>The NCL does not perform mycoplasma testing in our laboratory. Rather, this test is outsourced to another department of the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research, the Protein Expression Laboratory (PEL), part of the Cancer Research Technology Program (<a href="https://frederick.cancer.gov/science/Pel/Protocols.aspx" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">https://frederick.cancer.gov/science/Pel/Protocols.aspx</a>).</p><p>Briefly, the NCL cultures nanoparticles with cells for the initial 24 hours, then passage these cells twenty-five (25) times. The supernatants from the final culture will then be transported to the PEL for mycoplasma testing via VenorGem Mycoplasma PCR-based Detection Kit from Minerva Biolabs, which is also available through Sigma at the link below: <a href="http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/sigma/mp0025?lang=en&#x00026;region=US" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/sigma/mp0025?lang=en&#x00026;region=US</a>.</p><p>For more details on the mycoplasma detection protocol, please contact the PEL (<a href="https://frederick.cancer.gov/science/Pel/Protocols.aspx" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">https://frederick.cancer.gov/science/Pel/Protocols.aspx</a>).</p></div><div id="ncipr73.s3"><h2 id="_ncipr73_s3_">3. Preparation of study samples</h2><p>The assay requires 2.2 mL of the test nanomaterial final formulation. The concentration of nanoparticles in this formulation is case-specific. When such information is not available, for example when a test nanomaterial is received from a commercial supplier in a form not intended for biomedical applications, prepare stock solution at a concentration of 1mg/mL. The weight information can refer to either active pharmaceutical ingredient or total construct; it can also represent total metal content or other units. Such information is specific to each nanoparticle and should be recorded to aid result interpretation. Test nanoparticles should be reconstituted in sterile PBS, water or in appropriate vehicle. If vehicle is a buffer or media other than water or PBS, the vehicle control should be included in the test. The samples are tested from stock. However, when nanoparticles carry cytotoxic drugs or are otherwise toxic to cells, select the highest non-toxic concentration. The pH of the study sample should be checked using a pH microelectrode and adjusted with either sterile NaOH or HCl as necessary to be within the pH range 6-8. If NaOH or HCl are not compatible with a given nanoparticle formulation, adjust pH using a procedure recommended by nanomaterial manufacturer. To avoid sample contamination from microelectrode, always remove a small aliquot of the sample for use in measuring the pH.</p></div><div id="ncipr73.s4"><h2 id="_ncipr73_s4_">4.
