due to contamination 70 new plates are seeded in the afternoon

triple transfection with PEI using standard protocol for triple transfection:
set-up of the plate:
1) off target: construct M23 with perfect binding site for miR122, AAV8 serotype (AAV8), Adenohelper virus 5 (Ad5)
2) control: pBSU6Sv40Luc2 transgene in ITRs transfected together with shuffeled capsid of the 50 clones which was capable of transducing Huh7 and HepG2 cells, Ad 5
3) control: pBSU6sv40Luc 2 transgene, AAV8, Ad 5
4) shRNA miR expression vector for miRhaat (pBSU6H1haat), AAV8, Ad 5
5) the same as 4)
6) tuning construct: perfect binding site for shRNA miRhaat (M1), AAV8, Ad5
7) tuning construct: imperfect binding site randomized from nucleotide 9-12 (M9), AAV8, Ad5

double check the titre of capsids via dot plat and the packaged DNA via viral DNA extraction and running on an agarose gel using a virus with a known titre as a control
mice were injected the following:
1) SV40-Luc2-miR122 perfect binding site in AAV8 capsid
2) SV40-Luc2 in our shuffeled capsid
3) SV40-Luc2 in AAV8 capsid
4) SV40-Luc2-miRhaat perfect binding site in AAV8 capsid
5) SV40-Luc2-miRhaat imperfect binding site (9-12) in AAV8 capsid
6) Sv40-Luc2-miRhaat perfect binding site double injected with H1-shhaat both in AAV8 capsid
7) Sv40-Luc2-miRhaat imperfect binding site double injected with H1-shhaat both in AAV8 capsid
