> Add Lipo to 250 μL Opti-MEM --> R.T/ 5 min.
> Add DNA to 250 μL Opti-MEM
> Add DNA mix to Lipo mix --> R.T./ 20 min.
~~Cells in 6-well plates too crowded, discard; do same-day plating/ transfection from back-up stocks~~
> Harvest cells, plate 5x105 cells/3.5 ml ab-free medium in 6-well plates
> Add 500 μL complexes to each well (4 ml med. each); Grow cells at 37°C
> Check RFP & CFP expression (microscopy) after 18-24 hours
