Protocol
- Warm OptiMEM, COS-FBS Media and PBS -/-.
- Calculate amount of Fugene needed.
- Per ug of DNA need 3 uL Fugene.
- Per uL of Fugene need 16 uL of OptiMEM.
- Add Fugene to OptiMEM, incubate ~5 min.
- Add required amount of DNA to eppendorf tubes.
- Add 51 uL OptiMEM/Fugene per ug DNA to each DNA tube.
- Incubat 5-20 min.
- Split confluent cells 2-3X into fresh dishes as follows:
- Wash confluent COS cell plate(s) twice with 10 mL D-PBS -/-
- Add 1 mL Trypsin solution (0.05%) and incubate at 37C until cells are detached
- Add 25 mL COS/FBS
- Aliquot cells into wells as required (1 mL per 12well, 2 mL per 6 well)
- Add DNA/Fugene/DMEM to cells
- Leave mixture on Cells for 24-48h to allow protein to accumulate
