General notes

I need to figure out the quiz dates.

See also GoogleDoc for aliquoting amounts.

Scheme: Each pair of students will test K1 and xrs6 cells for Ku80 production. They will then assess the ability of K1, xrs6, and DNA-PKcs inhibited cells to repair DNA damage via plasmid based assay and flow cytometry.

Key preparation:

Cells:

  • Prepare T25 flasks of K1 and xrs6 for every team

Westerns:

  • Prepare transfer buffer

DNA plasmids:

  • Aliquot plasmids

Lipofection: Flow cytometry:


Note to TA:

  • While you read the wiki, test each link, and make any link descriptions bold that are not already.
  • As you read the protocols, add reagent calculations to the GoogleDoc as needed.

Materials required: Please read as much as you can of Parts 1-3 and create an automated worksheet (e.g., in Excel) that will perform the required calculations for the day. A partially prepared worksheet is linked here. We will NOT collect your final worksheet this time; it is only for your benefit.
