General notes

I need to figure out the quiz dates.

See also GoogleDoc for aliquoting amounts.

Scheme:

  • Plate wild type K1 and Ku80 deficient xrs6 cells
  • Collect lysates for Westerns to measure Ku80
  • Prepare damaged DNA plasmids of varying topologies
  • Transfect K1 and xrs6 cells with damaged DNA
  • Measure DNA damage repair via NHEJ by 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.
