Here, we present a protocol for the use of OUR medium for routine culturing, cell banking, and medium modification for suspension culture. We describe steps for thawing, sub-culturing, and freezing cells. We then detail procedures for using these techniques for VERO, A549, THP-1, and Jurkat cells.}, year = {2025}, journal = {STAR Protocols}, volume = {6}, pages = {103781}, month = {2025-06-20}, issn = {2666-1667}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266616672500187X}, doi = {10.1016/j.xpro.2025.103781}, }
