Neon transfection kit and device

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific

The Neon transfection kit and device is a laboratory equipment designed to facilitate the introduction of nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA, into cells. The kit includes the Neon transfection device and the necessary reagents for the transfection process. The device utilizes an electroporation-based method to temporarily create pores in the cell membrane, allowing the nucleic acids to enter the cells.

The short guide RNA was designed using the online tool provided by CHOPCHOP (http://chopchop.cbu.uib.no)36 (link). Freshly isolated naïve CD4 T cells were activated with plate bound anti-CD3 and CD28 antibodies. Cas9 proteins were prepared immediately before experiments by incubating 1 μg Cas9 with 0.3 μg sgRNA in transfection buffer at room temperature for 10 min. 24 h after T cell activation, these cells were electroporated with a Neon transfection kit and device (Thermo).

Four short-guide RNAs were designed using the online tool provided by CHOPCHOP (http://chopchop.cbu.uib.no) or E-CRISP (http://www.e-crisp.org/E-CRISP/). Oligonucleotides pairs with BbsI-compatible overhangs were annealed and cloned into the expression vector pGEM-T Easy-T3-BB-sgRNA for in vitro transcription. Memory Th2 cells (bulk targeted cell cultures) were activated with plate-bounded anti-TCRβ and CD28 antibodies. Cas9 proteins were prepared immediately before experiments by incubating 1 μg Cas9 with 0.3 μg sgRNA indicated below in transfection buffer at room temperature for 10 min. Twenty-four hours after T cell activation, these cells were electroporated with a Neon transfection kit and device (Thermo). And then, these cells were cultivated with IL-7, IL-25, and IL-33 for 4 days for further expansion.

Cultured ILC2s were electroporated with a NEON transfection kit and device (Thermo Fisher Scientific) using three pulses of 1800 V for 10 ms to transfect select siRNAs or pCMV-myc-JunB vector. After 24 h of transfection, cells were collected and used for RT–qPCR or RNA-seq. Primary hepatocytes were transfected with RNAi using Lipofectamine RNAi Max (Thermo Fisher, 13778075) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The siRNAs were as follows: Ct si (Negative Control #1, Cat# AM4635) and Target si (Cat# 4390771, 4390815). The IDs were as follows: Gata3 si: s61810, Junb si: s68567, Pa2g4 si: s201806, Calr si: s63270, Jund si: s201553, Runx1 si: s201126, Runx3 si: s63447, Il4ra si: s68281, Il13ra1 si: s68211, Stat3 si: s74452, Stat6 si: s74463.

Seven frozen PBMC samples were electroporated with a Neon transfection kit and device (Invitrogen). Cells (3 × 105) were incubated for 18 h with 10 ng/ml of IL-2 (Peprotech) and 10 ng/ml of IL-15 (Peprotech) and resuspended in 10 µl of buffer T (Neon kit, Invitrogen). Ceacam-1 siRNA (Entrez Gene ID 634; detected transcripts NM_001024912.2, NM_001205344.1, and NM_001712.4) or negative control siRNA (at a final concentration of 100 nM; Ambion) were added to the cell suspension. Ten microliters of the suspension were electroporated (1,700 V, 20 ms, three pulses). GAPDH siRNA (Ambion) was used as a positive control to evaluate efficiency of the silencing. Cells were incubated for 24 h at 37°C and 5% CO2 and then stimulated in anti-CD16-coated plate (1 µg/ml) for 5 h at 37°C and 5% CO2 in the presence of CD107a antibody. Brefeldin A (eBioscience) and Monensin (eBioscience) were added during the last 4 h of incubation. Surface markers and functions by intracellular staining were assessed by flow cytometry as described earlier.

Antisense 2′-o-methyl oligonucleotides (IDT) were transfected using a Neon transfection kit and device (Invitrogen). A total of 5 × 105 T cells that have been stimulated for 1 day were washed two times with PBS before suspension in 10 μL of buffer T (Neon kit, Invitrogen). Antisense oligos (1 μL of 125 μM) were added to the cell suspension to a final volume of 11 μL and mixed. 10 μL of the suspension was electroporated with a Neon electroporation device (Invitrogen; 1,600 V, 10 ms, three pulses). The transfected T cells were then cultured in 0.5 mL media so that the final concentration of tRF antisense oligos is 250 nM. The 0.5 mL media for culturing transfected T cells were in 24-well plates with plate-bound anti-CD3 (2.0 μg/ml), soluble anti-CD28 (0.5 μg/ml) and 10 units/mL IL2. After 2 days of culture, the transfected T cells were harvested and analyzed by flow cytometry for surface CD44 and CD62L expression. The sequence of antisense oligo for Leu-TAA:5′tRF was CCACUCGGCCAUUCUG, for Leu-TAG:5′tRF was CCGCUCGGCCACGCUA, for Ser-GCT:3′i-tRF was CCCUCGCGUGCAAAGCACA, and for Leu-TAA:3′i-tRF was ACGCGGAUAUAAAUCC.

All CRIPSR related reagents were purchased from IDT (San Jose, CA). Cas9:gRNA complex was prepared immediately before each experiment. Briefly, KEAP1, exon 2 specific CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) were mixed in equimolar concentrations (200 μM) with trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA) and allowed to form a gRNA (Table 1). A complex of Cas9 (1.5 or 3 μM) and gRNA (1.8 or 3.6μM) along with Alt-R Cas9 electroporation enhancer oligo (1.8 or 3.6μM) was electroporated with a Neon transfection kit and device (Invitrogen). Control cells were electroporated in the absence of Cas9:gRNA complex. Electroporation efficiency was assess by eGFP mRNA (TriLink Biotechnologies, San Diego, CA) or ATTO 550 labeled tracrRNA. Editing of KEAP1 gene as well as top three off-target genes was estimated by Surveyor mutation detection assay at different time points after electroporation using target specific primers (Table 2 and 3).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
