| + | This is the transfection protocol used at the LBTC lab for CHO DG44 cells. The transfection reagent is PEI ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylenimine polyethylenimine]). |
| + | |
| + | Please use [https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2012/4/49/Team-EPF-Lausanne_CHO_Transfection_excel_protocol.xls the provided Excel sheet] to calculate the volume of plasmid you should add to the cells. Replace every value in red by your own, then print the sheet out and follow the provided protocol. |

- | *Cell Density 3x10^6cells/mL
| + | 1. Passage seed 1 day prior to transfection. |
- | *Total Volume 5 mL
| + | |
- | *DNA 1.5 µg/10^6cells
| + | 2. Prepare tubes (yellow caps with holes) by addition of the calculated amount of DNA. |
- | *PEI 3 µg/10^6cells
| + | |
- |
| + | 3. Centrifuge the necessary volume of seed (after a PCV measurement), remove conditioned medium with the pump (use a 2 ml serological pipet with a broken neck) and resuspend (first in 10 ml) in necessary volume of fresh medium to achieve the required cell density (3 mio/ml). |
