 * &#x2713; Transfection: Pc-TF's into luc-silenced HEK cells (Fugene)
 * &#x2713; KAH126-1: split back-up cultures; plate ~5x105 cells in a 6-well dish (3 dox-, 3 dox+) for RNA preps to optimize new RT-PCR primers

Fugene transfection --> See 2/28/11 --> Use 6-day luc-silenced cells (plated last night)
 * 1) KAH160: human Pc-TF
 * 2) KAH170: deleted PCD

> Add DNA to stdH2O for a total volume of 10 μL (2x master mix = 20 μL) > Fugene master mixes (x2, 12 total): 3.6 μL Fugene + 36.4 μL Opti-MEM --> R.T/ 5 min. > Add 20 μL DNA mix to each Fugene mix --> R.T./ 20 min. > Add 30 μL complexes to each well (1 ml med. each); Grow cells at 37&deg;C > Assay luc activity after 2 days and 4 days
 * KAH160: 10 DNA + 30 PBS --> Use 20 μL for serial dilution
 * KAH170: 8.4 DNA + 31.6 PBS --> Use 20 μL for serial dilution

> Note: (3/05/11) when plating cells, use total cells from two dox+ 10 cm plates (~40% confluent); also use ~10% of the cells (2 mL of 10 mL resuspension) to seed each new 10 cm plate (2 total) for continued dox treatment
