20190102-04:Coating and transfection for PLEXIN-D1

2019.01.02 Morning:

  • Prepare 3 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 1.000.000 of cells.
  • Incubate at 37ºC for 24h.

2019.01.03 Afternoon:

Prepare the DNA and lipofectamine:

  • [PLEXIN D1] = 0,46 µg/µL. 
  • 8 µg PLEXIN-D1 (17,4µl) + 250 µl Optimem / plate
  • 12 µL of Lipofectamine + 250 µl Optimem / plate
  • 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.

2019.01.04 Morning

  • Fix with PFA 4%. Incubation at RT during 10min.
  • Wash with PBS 1x.
  • Blocking solution: Rabbit serum 1:40 in PBS for 1h at RT.
  • Remove the blocking solution and freeze at -80ºC.

Check the transfection – ICC:  

  • Blocking solution: rabbit serum 1:40 in PBS
  • Ac anti-PLEXIN-D1: diluted 1/1000
  • RAG 488 IgG diluted 1/1000
  • Vectashield mounting medium

Result: cells were well transfected with Plexin-D1
