Drosophila RNAi Screening

A. S2, S2C, Sundefined, S2R+, S3, l(2)mbn, Kc(167), & DL2 cells:
Sterile filter (0.2 µ) Store at 4o C - do not freeze
Heat Inactivating Fetal Bovine Serum
- Thaw the Fetal Bovine Serum on a shaker at 2-8oC (overnight)
- Pre-heat a waterbath to a temperature of 56oC. (Make sure the water covers all of the serum in the bottle)
- Heat the serum for 30 minutes in the 56oC bath.
- Allow serum to cool to room temperature before adding to cells.
-
Collect about 30g of healthy flies.
200 flies weigh about 0.22g, use 1.5 ml M3 medium for 0.22g.
To make 200 ml homogenate, use 30g of flies. (7.5ml/ 1g). - Place flies in freezer for ~20'. Remove flies from freezer and weigh out 1/2 of them and put rest back in freezer. Add the appropriate amount of M3 medium.
-
Place flies plus medium in a blender. Blend at medium speed until it looks as if all the flies have been lysed and the supernate is reddish from the eye pigments.
[Old method: Remove 5ml of the fly suspension and crush in a dounce homogenizer (which should be extremely clean) until the plunger reaches the bottom of the homogenizer. Collect the resultant mush in 50ml conical tubes. Repeat until all flies are homogenized.] - Transfer lysate to 50ml conical tubes and spin at 2600 rpm in a tabletop centrifuge at RT. Remove the supernate and transfer to a new tube.
- Remove the oily top layer.
- Heat inactivate the extract in a 60o C waterbath for 10'. You will see a precipitate form.
- Centrifuge at 2600 rpm for 1 hour at RT. Remove supernate and sterilize through 0.22 µ m filter. You will go through several filters, so either use a prefilter, or be prepared to waste a lot of prepackaged filters.
- Store in 12.5 ml aliquots (2.5% final in 500ml) and keep at -20o C after freezing in LN2 .
A. Semi-adherent cell lines - will stick to new flask but come loose over time
