20181128-30: Coating and transfection for AXL and ALCAM

2018.11.28

  • Prepare 2 plates of 60mm of diameter with 14 coverslips of 12mm.
  • Treatment with Poly-D-Lysine (diluted 1/40 with boratte buffer)
  • 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 1.000.000 of cells.
  • Incubate at 37ºC for 24h.

  • Prepare the DNA and lipofectamine:
    • [AXL] = 0,79 µg/µL. 8 µg = 10,2 µL + 250 µL Optimem
    • [ALCAM] = 0,31 µg/µL. 8 µg = 25,8 µL + 250 µL Optimem
      • 24 µL of Lipofectamine + 0,5 ml Optimem
  • 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: 500microL of every mix of DNA and Lipo.
  • Incubate O/N at 37ºC.

  • 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:  

  • Blocking solution: 5% goat serum in PBS
  • Ac anti-cmyc 1/100
  • GAM488 1/500
  • Vectashield mounting medium

RESULT: both AXL and ALCAM are well transfected.
