Summary

Still checking on the cultures, going to harvest the ones induced to create PcTF-RFP later in the week if their expression levels look good. Also submitting the RNA harvested last week to DNASU, where they'll create cDNA and then quantify it using real-time PCR.



Goals

  • Monitor cultures (SKNSH, U2OS, & KAH126-U2OS)
  • Photograph fluorescence of transfected/induced cultures
  • Harvest cultures that are on day 4 of transfection/induction
  • Quantify RNA prior to submission to DNASU lab for sequencing

Results/Conclusions

Culture Status

  • SKNSH (6-well plate): 25% confluence, replace with fresh medium
  • SKNSH (T-75): 50% confluence, replace with fresh medium
  • KAH126-U2OS (T-75): 80% confluence, replace with fresh medium
  • U2OS (T-75): 100% confluence, passage

"Negative control" is a sample not treated with doxycycline but still containing RNA.

Samples have been submitted to DNASU for creation of cDNA followed by RT-PCR.
