- Cell culture - Gal4-EED/luc for luciferase activation experiment
- Passage cells 1:4 (T-75 flasks)
Cell culture
- Set up 2x 6-well plates for Gal4-VP64 transfections
- Harvest cells: Follow steps 1-9 of Passaging Adherent Cells protocol.
Note: cells are ~75% confluent, so at this point you will have ~7.5E5/ mL = ~7.5E6 in 10 mL.
- 28 mL of growth medium and harvested cells was aliquot into a 50mL conical vial (1 well extra was added to account for pipetting errors)
- 2.3 mL of harvested cells were added to the conical vial (this is equal to ~1.75E6 cells)
- 25.7 mL of growth medium was added to the conical vial
- Get a 10 mL pipette and mix the cells by pipetting up and down (>3 times).
- Draw up and dispense 4 mL of the suspended cells into each well in the 6-well plate.
Note: Do this whole procedure separately for the dox- and the dox+ cells
Note: For the dox+ plate, 4μL of 1mg/mL doxycycline was added to each well (1μL was added for each mL of the unique well's volume = 4mL)
- A 1:4 passage of the cells was also performed into a T-75 flask
