Instructions For Use
The following protocol uses HT-1080 cell as an example assuming your cell culture medium is DMEM-based.
- Release 0.5 million HT-1080 cells into a 35 mm tissue culture dish in 2 mL of the growth medium (DMEM containing 10% FBS and 1% pen/strep). Cell density should reach 50-60% confluence the following day.
- 24 h after cell release, pre-warm the shRNA lentiviral medium to 37°C.
- Discard 1 mL of the original growth medium of the 35 mm dish.
- Using a serological pipette, gently mix the lentiviral solution 3 times.
- Carefully add 1 mL of the lentiviral solution to the well. Tip: To prevent splashing, add the solution to the dish along the wall.
- Add a polybrene stock solution to the culture medium at a final concentration of 5 μg/mL. Gently swirl the dish to mix.
- 48 h after cell release, without discarding the original medium, add another 1 mL of lentiviral medium directly into the dish.
- Add an additional polybrene stock solution into the dish to obtain a final concentration of 5 μg/mL. Tip: Now, the medium in the dish should be a total of 3 mL.
- 72 h after cell release, cells may reach confluence. Trypsinize the cells off the 35 mm dish and culture those cells in a 60 mm dish.
- Add puromycin to the dish at a final concentration of 4 μg/mL. Tip: To assess the efficacy of puromycin selection, culture a dish of wild-type HT-1080 cells as a negative control.
- Allow puromycin selection for 48 h. Almost all wild-type HT-1080 cells should die, while the dish infected with lentiviruses should have some remaining cells.
- Replace the medium with regular growth medium without puromycin and allow the cells to grow to confluence before harvesting or staining.
