10/20/15 Luc/CFP swap - Colony growth Luc/CFP swap - Colony growth 10/19/15 - Ben Nyer - Gal4EED/luc HEK293 cells were co-transfected with lipofectamine LTX and (1) HPK-CFP gene flanked with homology arms that match luciferase site DBN007_pSB1A3, (2) Cas9/gRNA34 plasmid, and (3) Cas9/gRNA44 plasmid. Today: plate cells at low concentration to try to get CFP-positive colonies Images of transfected cells in 6-well dish: Expansion procedure (to maintain back-up stocks): Wash with PBS and trypsinize in 0.5 mL trypsin medium Resuspend with 3.5 mL DMEM complete (+0.5 μg/mL puro); add to 6 mL DMEM complete (+0.5 μg/mL puro) in 10 cm dish Dilution procedure: Wash with PBS and trypsinize in 0.5 mL trypsin medium Assume 1 million cells in 1 well...there are probably fewer) ≈ 1,000,000 cells Resuspend by adding 4.5 mL DMEM complete (+0.5 μg/mL puro) ≈ 200,000 cells/mL Add 0.5 mL resuspended cells to 10 mL medium in 10 cm plate ≈ 10,000 cells/mL Add 50 μL resuspended cells to 10 mL medium in 10 cm plate ≈ 1,000 cells/mL Plates set up today: Luc/CFP Well 1 (expansion) Luc/CFP Well 2 1:100 (10,000 cells/mL) Luc/CFP Well 2 1:1000 (1,000 cells/mL) Luc/CFP Well 3 1:100 (10,000 cells/mL) Luc/CFP Well 3 1:1000 (1,000 cells/mL) Luc/CFP Well 4 (expansion) Luc/CFP Well 5 (expansion)
