Procedure for Transfection of Mammalian Cells

互联网

820

 

Materials:

bullet Lipofectamine
bullet IMDM containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% glutamine, 1% aa
bullet IMDM containing 1% glutamine
bullet IMDM containing 20% fetal bovine serum, 1% glutamine, 1% aa
  1. In a six-well or 35 mm tissue culture plate, seed ~2x 105 cells per well in 2 ml IMDM containing 10% FBS and nonessential amino acids.
  2. Incubate the cells at 37E C in a CO2 incubator until the cells are 70-80% confluent. This will usually take 18-24 h.
  3. Prepare the following solutions in 12 x 75 mm sterile tubes:
    Solution A: For each transfection, dilute 2 μg DNA (plasmid) in 375 μl serum-free IMDM (containing nonessential amino acids).
    Solution B: For each transfection, dilute 12 μl LIPOFECTAMINE Reagent in 375 μl serum-free IMDM.
  4. Combine the two solutions, mix gently, and incubate at room temperature for 15-45 min. The solution may appear cloudy, however this will not impede the transfection.
  5. Wash the cells once with 2 ml serum-free IMDM.
  6. For each transfection, add 750 μl serum-free IMDM to each tube containing the lipid-DNA complexes. Do not add antibacterial agents to media during transfection. Mix gently and overlay the diluted complex solution onto the washed cells.
  7. Incubate the cells for 5 h at 37E C in a CO2 incubator.
  8. Add 1.5 ml IMDM with 20% FBS without removing the transfection mixture. If toxicity is a problem, remove the transfection mixture and replace with normal growth medium.
  9. Replace medium at 18-24 h following start of transfection.
  10. Assay cell extracts for gene activity 24-72 h after the start of transfection, depending on cell type and promoter activity.
