Flow Cytometry of AFRP + GFP

  1. Overnight cultures of CB008+AFRP+GFP diluted ~100x (to a final concentration of OD600 0.5-0.1, Saturated overnight cultures should be OD600 of ~7) in SD complete media, and grown for 3 hours, 1000rpm shaker, 30ºC. Growing in 2mL well plates

  2. Induce with Alpha-factor. Stock is in 3mM. Final concentrations are 0, 1nM, 10nM, 100nM, 1000nM. Alpha-factor cannot be refrozen, so throw leftover away.

  3. Induce for 90mins, but no longer than 120mins

  4. Transfer 250u of each well into a V-bottom 96-well plate containing 10ul of the fixing chemical Cyclohexamide. (thats 4 ul for every 100ul of culture) Cyclohexamide stops protein production by inhibiting ribosomes.

  5. Run on the flow cytometer.

Instructions for starting flow:

  • Turn on and wait 30mins for the machine to warm up
  • Re-initialize the HTS, them prime it three times. You'll get a bubble in the lines if you don't
  • Run CST!!! Follow the sheet in front of the monitor for more instructions for that part. (CST uses beads to calibrate the laser detection.) add one drop into 250ul of sheath fluid in A1.
  • Bead LOT ID: use the one that is most current
  • Load A1-A4 with bleach and B1-B4 with water [flip for the opposite corner] -Cytometer>CST. Make sure cytometer performance results passed

Run Clean Plate: 1. Click on experiment. Experiment>Open experiment 2. Open clean plate "Daily Clean" - 96 well U-bottom" 3. Be here to see if the cleaning is going correctly, low events (less than 100events/sec for bleach and less than 10events/sec for water) 4. If over the events, run another clean plate 5. View events in aquisition dashboard in view>Acquisition dashboard 6. Can also make a clean plate using HTS>Clean
