seeding cells for test measurements - 96 well plate for plate-reader and FACS

  • cells were grown in DMEM 10%FBS with phenol red
  • washed with PBS
  • trypsinised (2 ml trypsin)
  • 5ml of OptiMEM media (no FBS) added
  • counted cells: HeLa 3.8*10^6 cells/ml, HEK 3.3*10^6 cells/ml, HEK T-Rex 1.5*10^6 cells/ml, Huh7 0.8*10^6 cells/ml
  • seeded 5000 and 2500 cells/well as on the scheme 96well plate 080810.jpg
  • media: DMEM +L-Glu +PenStrep +10%FBS, OptiMEM +PenStrep, OptiMEM +PenStrep +2%FBS
  • in all wells where T-Rex cells were seeded zeocin and blasticin were added, in wells with Huh7 cells - non essential amino acids

-> cells did not adhere well, coat plate with poly-L-lysine and repeat

seeding and transfecting cells for microscopy test measurements

  • add 0.6ul FuGENE reagent to 20ul of OptiMEM
  • mix and incubate 5' at RT
  • add 0.2ug DNA
  • mix and incubate 15' at RT
  • add DNA-FuGENE solution to 10 000 cells (400ul)
  • mix and incubate 10' 37degC 300rpm (shaker for 15ml falcon tubes is in the cell culture room at 3rd floor)
  • transfere cells to the plate
  • grow 48h


HeLa, EGPF HeLa, EBFP2 HeLa, EGPF and EBFP2 HeLa, EGPF and EBFP2 1:10
HEK T-REx, EGFP HEK T-REx, EBFP2 HEK T-REx, EGPF and EBFP2 HEK T-REx, EGPF and EBFP2 1:10

  • seeding 1 96-well plate with all different cell lines we have (HelaP4, Hek293T and Huh7) for testing fluorescent measurement:
    • purpose is to set up plate reader (TECAN), FACS and microscope and test whether it is possible to distinguish between GFP and BFP expression
    • problem: forgot to coat the plate, therefore cells did not attach

    • Results:
      • too little cells have been plated
      • Huh7 cells are hard to transfect
      • expression of EBFP2 is much lower than expression of EGFP

  • dual luciferase assay on the 2 96-well plates:
    • all constructs are functional as firefly and renilla luciferase are expressed
    • transfection of construct into Hek t-Rex cells reveals that the CMVTetO2 (construct K4) is also functional as the expression of firefly to renilla counts is nearly zero

  • who deleted what I wrote here??? hallooo?? hmm I guess I just didn't save it. damn.

how do I get a calendar in here??? anyone?? ⇐ Main Page
