> Master mixes (4, x6): 10.8 μL Fugene + 109.2 μL Opti-MEM --> R.T/ 5 min.
> Add 6x vol DNA --> R.T./ 20 min.
> Add 20 μL complexes to each well (1 ml med. each); Grow cells at 37°C
> After 4-5 hours, refresh medium and add varying amounts of neomycin (G418); make serial dilutions (1:2)
--> Initial dilution = 400 μg/ 100 μL (8 μL 50 mg/mL stock in 92 μL Opti-MEM)
--> 4x (= 400 μL) = 32 μL 50 mg/mL stock in 368 μL Opti-MEM
--> Final vol. of each dilution is 50 μL (4x = 200 μL)
