Summary

In order to introduce a new gene into the mammalian cancer cells, we need to make the cells competent and present them with a prepared plasmid containing our gene of interest along with a selectable marker. Lipofectamine is a tranfection reagent that produces positively charged liposomes that envelop the plasmids to be introduced to the cells and encourage passage through the negatively charged cell membrane into the cells.

Goals

  • Begin transfection of U2OS cells in 6-well plate

Protocol

mammalian cell transfection with liopfectamine

Materials

  • Lipofectamine LTX
  • Opti-MEM I Reduced serum medium
  • Antibiotic-free growth medium (no pen/strep or other antibiotics)
  • Cells
  • Pipette tips

Notes

To make the transfection solution, in a 1.5mL microcentrifuge tube add:

  • 20μL DNA in H2O
  • 570μL Opti-MEM solution
  • 2.5μL PLUS reagent
  • wait 5 minutes at room temp.
  • 7.5μL Lipofectamine LTX
  • wait 30 minutes at room temp.
  • begin transfection

Results/Conclusions

Three wells were treated with DNA, one was treated with water (negative control). Well plate is in the upper incubator, middle shelf.
