20180827-29: Coating and transfection for FLOT1/FLOT2

Objective: to test the doble transfection of flotillin 1 and flotillin 2.

Day 1- 2018.08.27:

  • Prepare 1 plates of 60mm of diameter with 14 coverslips of 12mm.
  • Treatment with Poly-D-Lysina (diluted 1/40 with PBS)
  • Incubate for 1h (37ºC, 5% CO2).
  • Wash with PBS
  • Trypsin-EDTA a plate of HEK293.
  • For every plate of 60mm: 5ml of HEK medium + the volume that correspond to 1.100.000 of cells.
  • Incubate at 37ºC for 24h.

Day 2- 2018.08.28:

[FLOT1] = 0,48 µg/µL. [FLOT2]= 0,43 µg/µL.

 6µg of FLOT 1 (15,5 µL) + 3µg of FLOT 2 (6,93 µL)

12 microL of Lipofectamine.

  • Incubate at RT for 5 min.
  • Unify every DNA with the appropriate amount of Lipo and incubate at RT for 30 min.
  • For every plate: 5ml of HEK medium and 500microL of every mix of DNA and Lipo.
  • Incubate O/N at 37ºC.

Day 3- 2018.08.29:

  • Fix with PFA 4%. Incubation at RT during 10min.
  • Wash with PBS 1x.
  • Blocking solution: 5% goat serum in PBS for 1h at RT.
  • Remove the blocking solution and freeze at -80ºC.

Check the transfection – ICC:  2 coverslips 

  • Blocking solution: 5% goat serum in PBS
  • Primary antibody:
    • 1 coverslip: anti-FLOT1 diluted 1/100
    • 1 coverslip: anti-FLOT2 diluted 1/200
  • Secondary antibody: GAR488 diluted 1/1000
  • Vectashield mounting medium

RESULT: FLOT1 and FLOT2 are well transfected, with this new condition we see higher amount of FLOT1 than previously, but still FLOT2 is predominant.
