  • Transduction Day 2: change media


Transduction Day 2

  • Brought 25 mL aliquots of media for each cell line to the LaBaer lab.
  • Checked GFP control wells (LaBaer scope has no RFP filters)
    • Plate 1: U2OS, ~90% GFP expression, at least ~two doubling
    • Plate 2: SK-N-SH, ~90% expression, slow cell growth
    • Plate 4: K562, no GFP expression. Did not continue next steps for this plate
  • Remove media
  • Add 2 ml/well fresh media with 1% Pen/strep
  • Grow cells at 37°C (overnight)
