Daily Notes
Notes:M2D1
- There will be no quiz.
- You will need at least 14 T-25 flasks of MES cells/lab as well as appropriate media for splitting cells. If more than 12 students are in lab section, add additional flask for each additional student.
- Cells for microscope refresher can be from demo of trypsinization for first group on scopes and from students own trypsinized cells for second group on scopes.
Notes:M2D2
- Need lab quiz.
- Need 6 boxes of cuvettes
- Need 12 96-well plates
- Will need 6 flasks of MES cells/lab section as well as pre-transformation media for plating on slides.
- Will need at least 12 4-well Lab-Tek slides per section.
Notes:M2D3
- ?lab quiz
- need to prep in advance some DNA to transfect
Notes:M2D4
Notes:M2D5
fluo-3, AM
Here are experimental procedures:
To prepare 2 uM fluo-3 solution in Opti-MEM.
- Dissolve a vial of fluo-3 (50 ug) by adding 0.5 ml DMSO.
- Transfer all of the DMSO solution into 21.5 ml Opti-MEM in a Falcon tube.
- Mix it well and protect the solution from light.
To treat cells:
- Remove cell media from chambered slides where ES cells are growing.
- Add 1 ml of 2 uM fluo-3, AM
- Incubate at 37oC for 45 min (can do this at one time for all samples the class has prepared).
- Remove fluo-3, AM solution.
- Wash the cells with 1 ml warm PBS twice.
- Add 1 ml warm Opti-MEM.
- Incubate for 30 min or more.
- Students will observe and treat the cells under fluorescence microscope in the 109 lab.
Notes:M2D6
Recipes/Reagents
- Growth Media: 500 ml DMEM (high glucose), 50 ml FBS (Atlanta Biologic, Inc.), 5 ml P/S/G, 1 ml BME, 5 ml NEAA. Filter then add 50 ul LIF. Store 4°C
- Pre-Tx’n Media: 500 ml DMEM (high glucose), 50 ml FBS (Atlanta Biologic, Inc.), 5 ml 100XG, 1 ml BME, 5 ml NEAA. Filter then add 50 ul LIF. Store 4°C
- 0.1% gelatin for TC dishes > 10 min before adding cells: 1 g/L, Heat slightly to dissolve. Autoclave. Store 4°C
- Cyproheptadine hydrochloride (C6022); Working conc should be 0.1 uM. Make stock of 0.1 M by dissolving 100 mg bottle in 3 ml DMSO (although according to Sigma this is water-soluble, I had trouble dissolving this in water). When using this stock dilute 1:1000 then final concentration of 1:1000 on cells. Store -20°C
- A23187 Calcium Ionophore (C9275). Working concentration should be 2 uM. Make stock of 2 mM by dissolving 5 mg bottle in 4.6 ml DMSO. Use at 1:1000 on cells. Store -20°C
- BAPTA-AM (A1076). Working concentration should be 30 uM. Make stock of 30 mM by dissolving 25 mg bottle in 1 ml DMSO. Use at 1:1000 on cells. Store -20°C
- CaCl2*2H20 (Mallinckrodt 4160). Working conc should be 30 mM. Make stock of 3M by dissolving 4.41 g in 10 ml H20. Filter sterilize. Use at 1:100 on cells. Store -20°C
- EGTA (JTBaker L657-05) Working concentration should be 0.5 mM. Make stock of 0.5 M by dissolving 1.9 g in 9 ml H20 + 1 ml 10 N NaOH. Filter sterilize. Use at 1:1000 on cells. Store -20°C
- CaCl2 (no H20) for standard curve: 55 mg/50 ml H20 gives 10 mM solution.
- Fluo-3, salt (F1240 from Molecular Probes). fw = 854.7g/mol. Dissolve 1 mg aliquot in 1.17 ml very clean H2O for 1 mM stock. Freeze 100 ul aliquots at -20°. Working concentration is 1 um (1:1000 dilution) for measuring free Ca2+ in vitro.
- EGTA: fw 380.4 g/mol. 100 mM stock = 3.8 g/100 ml very clean H2O. pH with KOH to make soluble
- KOH 10% solution (10 g/100 ml very clean H2O)
- MOPS fw209g/mol 0.5M = 10.45g/100 ml very clean H2O, pH to 7.2 with HCl
- KCl fw 74.5 g/mol 5 M stock (sat'd) = 37.25 g/100 ml very clean H2O, heat to dissolve or autoclave.
- K2EGTA solution
- 50 ml 100 mM K2EGTA
- 10 ml 5M KCl
- 30 ml MOPS
- 410 ml v. clean H2O
- CaEGTA
- 0.367g CaCl2*2H2O dissolved in 250 ml K2EGTA solution
