Cells were grown in a six-well plate to 60% confluency and transduced at a MOI of 1. Cells were incubated for 3 days to ensure cytoplasmic plasmid was destroyed and would not interfere with the assay. Infected cells were selected by sorting for mTurqoise (FACS AriaFusion). Cells were passaged and plated in a 96 well plate at 2.5 × 105 cells per well in 200 µL of DMEM supplemented with 10% (v/v) HIFBS. Cells were exposed to blue light for 2 h using a UVP Chromato-Vue UV transilluminator (115 V 60 Hz 1.8 Amp) and UVP UV/Blue converter plate (1.2 W/m2) and incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 for 20 h.

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.
