08/03/2014 Gal4EED/luc transfection qPCR on luciferase - primer test mCherry CRISPR - extract genomic DNA mCherry CRISPR - flow cytometry Gal4EED/luc transfection Lipofectamine LTX transfection of cells, 6-well plate format Gal4EED/luc +dox from T-25 trypsinized and plated in wells 1-3 (4 mL medium) Gal4EED/luc (no dox) from T-25 trypsinized and plated in wells 4-6 (4 mL medium) Growth medium added back to original flask to grow up remaining cells as back-up Transfection carried out as described in the CSH Syn Bio 2014 manual (2000 ng DNA/ 600 μL transfection mix/ 4 mL cell sample) Gal4EED/luc +dox, plasmid gRNA 20 Gal4EED/luc +dox, plasmid gRNA 29 Gal4EED/luc +dox, mock Gal4EED/luc (no dox), plasmid gRNA 20 Gal4EED/luc (no dox), plasmid gRNA 29 Gal4EED/luc (no dox), mock Note: used complete DMEM (with pen/strep) so cell viability might be suboptimal because of this 8/4/14 - carefully replaced original transfection medium with DMEM/10% FBS qPCR on luciferase - primer test Templates Master Mix tubes Gal4EED/luc genomic DNA (21 wells) nTc (dH2O) (21 wells) Reagent (Single) x21.5 DNA (20 ng) or dH2O up to 4.5 --- dH2O --- --- Total 4.5 96.75 Primer Master Mix tubes gRNA20 ES (6 wells) gRNA20 US (6 wells) gRNA29 ES (6 wells) gRNA29 US (6 wells) GAPDH B2 (6 wells) MMP12 C4 (6 wells) GAPDH A3 (6 wells) Reagent (Single) x6.5 2x Roche SYBR 7.5 48.75 750 nM F/R primers 3.0 19.5 Total 10.5 68.25 Results summary Primers Ct for DNA nTc signal?
