  • ✓ Transfection: Pc-TF's into luc-silenced HEK cells (Fugene)
  • ✓ 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
Wells Plasmid DNA Volume Fugene Opti-MEM
1-6 KAH160/MV1 0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 ng 2.5 μL = 800 ng 1.8 μL 18.2 μL
7-12 " " " " "
13-18 KAH170/MV1 0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 ng 2.1 μL = 800 ng " "
19-24 " " " " "

> Add DNA to stdH2O for a total volume of 10 μL (2x master mix = 20 μL)

  • KAH160: 10 DNA + 30 PBS --> Use 20 μL for serial dilution
  • KAH170: 8.4 DNA + 31.6 PBS --> Use 20 μL for serial dilution

> 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°C
> Assay luc activity after 2 days and 4 days


> 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
