Notebook

Elements of the endeavor.

Construct cell-line with EGFP gene which insert target sequence.

2014/10/3 Simulate cutting HIV & HBV integrate sequence by Cas9

Introduction:

Our final goal is to cut integrated Lentiviruses

Oct. 3rd

Seed the plate

[2014 Oct. 3rd]

Materials

  • G5 cells(HeLa cells transfected with Cas9 gene under control of Tet-On).
  • DMEM with 10% FBS, Penicillin-Streptomycin and 4.4μg/mL blasticindin and 2.0 μg/mL puromycin.


Procedures

  1. Rinse the plate twice with PBS to remove any floating cells and wash out all medium.
  2. Trypsinize all of the cells and suspend with complete medium with 4.4μg/mL blasticindin and 2.0 μg/mL puromycin.
  3. Count cell concentration and dillute to 50,000 cells/ml. Add suspention 1ml with 50,000 cells per well 12 wells into 24-well plate.
  4. Incubate the 24-well plate for 12 hours.

Result

Cells are seeded very even in the well. Perfect for transfection.

Transfection

[2014 Oct. 4th 11:00]

We have to stably transfect HeLa cell to construct a new cell line, so we use piggybac to integrate gene into genome.

For 3 different modified EGFP gene, we have 3 groups 4 wells per group.

Materials

  • Lipofectamine® 3000 Reagent
  • Opti-MEM
  • DMEM with 10% FBS.
  • Endo-free extract piggybac
Concentration of EGFP+target sequence.
Target sequence Concentration
HIV1 6638 ng/μl
HBV1 + HBV2 6076 ng/μl
HBV2 6653 ng/μl

Procedures

  1. Dilute 0.75μl/well 9μl at total Lipofectamine 3000 reagent in 25μl/well 300μl in total Opti-MEM, and incubation for 5min
  2. Prepare master mix of 3 groups, DNA 0.5μg/well by dilutiong 3 plasmidsd in Opti-MEM medium 25μl/well according to the form, then add P3000 reagent 1μl/well.
  3. Add dilutetd DNA to each tube of diluted lipo 3000.
  4. Incubation for 10min
  5. Add DNA lipid complex to cell waiting for the harvest.

Laboratory note

Composition of 3 groups of mixture
target+EGFP Piggybac
HIV1 0.15 0.345μl
HBV12 0.165 0.345μl
HBV2 0.15 0.345μl

  1. Add DNA to 100μL/group Opti-MEM medium according to the table and add 4μL P3000 reagent, mix well.
  2. Dilute Lipofectamine 3000 Reagent in Opti-MEM Medium: 300μL Opti-MEM Medium + 9μL Lipofectamine 3000 Reagent, mix well.
  3. Add 100μL Diluted Lipofectamine 3000 to Diluted DNA of each group (1:1 ratio), mix well.
  4. Incubate for about 10min.
  5. Add DNA-lipid complex (25μL per well) to cells, shake the plate. (11:40 am)
  6. After 12h, change the medium with the complete medium with 10% FBS and Penicillin-Streptomycin.

Passage cells

Passage cells 3 wells to one petri dish, and the other 1 well to another petri dish for monoclones.

  1. Wash cells with PBS, trypsin digestion, add medium to stop digestion
  2. Transfer cell suspension of 3 wells into a petri dish, and 1 well into another petri dish.
  3. Count the cell concentration with blood counting chamber.
  4. Mark the new dishes, add 6 mL medium to every dish, mix well.
  5. Culture.
