  • Transfections: Test new activation domains on K. Hansen's HEK293 luc reporter system



Transfections: H3me test reporters (Gal4)
> Lipofectamine LTX
> Follow Jason's protocol, 12-well plates
> Use 1000 ng total plasmid (transcription factor plus empty vector)
> Plate 1 = repressed HEK 23;4;9 cells (5-day dox treatment, ~4 day wash-out)
> Plate 2 = non-repressed HEK 23;4;9 cells

Plate 1, 2

Lipo LTX, Note: double each reaction
> Dilute 1 μg DNA in dH2O (10 μL final)
> Add 190 μL Opti-MEM to 10 μL DNA
> Add 1 μL PLUS reagent --> R.T/ 5 min.
> Add 3 μL Lipo LTX --> R.T/ 30 min.
> Add ~200 μL complexes (drop-wise) to each well (1 ml med. each); Grow cells at 37°C

> Express for two days; Luciferase assay early Monday morning
