20181211-13: Coating and transfection for FLOT1/FLOT2

2018.12.11

  • Prepare four plates of 60mm of diameter with 24 coverslips of 9mm.
  • 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 1.200.000 of cells.
  • Incubate at 37ºC for 24h.

Morning

Prepare the DNA and lipofectamine:

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

6 µg FLOT1 (12,5µl) + 3 µg FLOT2 (6,9) + 250 µl Optimem / plate

12 µL of Lipofectamine + 250 µl Optimem / plates

Incubate at RT for 5 min.

Unify DNA with  Lipofectamine and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Add 500microL of the mix of DNA and Lipofectamine to the plate.

Incubate O/N at 37ºC.

Afternoon

  • 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-FLOT1: diluted1/50
  • GAR 488 IgM diluted 1/1000
  • Ac anti-FLOT2 biotinilated: diluted 1/25
  • Streptavidine 594 diluted 1/400
  • Vectashield mounting medium

RESULT: both FLOT1 and FLOT2 are transfected, the cells look good, and there are very few dead cells.
