Transfection Overview

Main project page Previous entry      Next entry

Overview I'm going to be performing a series of transfections with the following parameters: Cell type: U-2 OS SK-N-SH K562 Time points: post-24 hr post-48 hr post-72 hr Replicates: 2 biological replicates 1 negative control Vector used: KAH126-MV2 Other notes: Take daily photographs of cells using fluorescence microscopy (phase/mCherry) When harvesting cells, collect all supernatant from rinsing/washing steps and spin down with cells to harvest any non-adherent cells Before treating samples with TRIzol, run on flow cytometry and measure the % efficiency via red fluorescence compared to the negative control U-2 OS Transfection Earlier in the week, I set up a 6-well plate with U-2 OS cells, and today I transfected the plate with KAH126-MV2 using Lipofectamine LTX. Wells 1, 2, 4, and 5 were treated with 4 µg of plasmid, and wells 3 and 6 were negative controls (no plasmid). After transfection, the plate was centrifuged at 128 g for 30 minutes at room temperature before being transferred to the CO2 incubator.
