CHO cell transfection with LOVTAP and RO

  • CHO cell transfection with LOVTAP and RO
  • CHO cell new culturing (Will be continued on 19th of July)



Protocol: None

Forgot to insert protocol.


Transfection Protocol -> CHO-DG44

  • Cell Density 3x10^6cells/mL
  • Total Volume 5 mL
  • DNA 1.5 µg/10^6cells
  • PEI 3 µg/10^6cells


  1. Passage seed 1 day prior to transfection
  2. Prepare tubes by addition of DNA
  3. Centrifuge the necessary volume of seed, remove conditioned medium and resuspend in necessary volume of fresh medium to acheive the required cell density
  1. Add 5 mL of the cell suspension to the tube with DNA and mix by orbitally shaking
  2. Add the PEI to the Cell+DNA mixture as soon as possible
  3. Place in the incubator at 37°C


Transfection plan: different DNA percentages. Each one of those will have a duplicate.

DNA concentration (Stock values) :

LovTAP RO filler unit
0.4 0.29 1.06 µg/µL

Percentage of DNA

Tube number LovTAP RO filler unit
1,2 100 0 0 %
3,4 10 0 90 %
5,6 0 0 100 %
7,8 50 50 0 %
9,10 0 100 0 %
11,12 0 50 50 %

Mass of DNA

Tube number LovTAP RO filler unit
1,2 22.5 0 0 µg
3,4 2.25 0 20.25 µg
5,6 0 0 22.5 µg
7,8 11.25 11.25 0 µg
9,10 0 22.5 0 µg
11,12 0 11.25 11.25 µg

Final volumes added :

Tube number LovTAP RO filler unit
1,2 56.25 0 0 µL
3,4 5.625 0 18.75 µL
5,6 0 0 20.8 µL
7,8 28.125 38.8 0 µL
9,10 0 77.59 0 µL
11,12 0 38.8 10.4 µL

Resuspension :

PCN found for 200µL of cell solution : 1.58 PCN for 100µL = 1.58/2 = 0.79

We need a PCN of 0.2 for 1mio cells/mL -> 4mio cells/mL for 0.79 PCN. Therefore we needed to add 49mL of new medium.


Comments

We need to make a protocol page for CHO transfection
