Efficient Retroviral Transduction of Phoenix Cells

5 × 106Phoenix™ cells were seeded and 24 h later they were transfected with the plasmid DNA of choice. Briefly, 20 μg of DNA were mixed with 860 μL of H2O and 120 μL of 2 M CaCl2 and mixed by vortexing. The DNA solution was transferred dropwise to 1 mL of 2 × HBS buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.05, 10 mM KCl, 12 mM Glucose, 280 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM NaHPO4) while vortexing and the solution was incubated 20 min at room temperature. In the meantime, 25 μM Chloroquine solution (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the Phoenix™ cells (1 μl/ml) and the cells were incubated for 10 min. The DNA solution was added to the cells and 12 h later the medium was replaced. After 24 h of incubation, the medium containing the retroviral suspension was filtered and Polybrene (Sigma-Aldrich) solution was added. Fresh medium was added to the Phoenix™ cells that were maintained in culture for further infections. The retroviral solution was used for spin infection of MT cells by centrifuging 45 min at 1800 rpm at 37°C. In total, four spin infections were performed over two days. Positively infected cells were selected with puromycin (Serva) or blasticidin (GIBCO) and, eventually, GFP positivity was analyzed using a BD FACS Calibur

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated RBPJ Depletion in Murine Hybridoma T-Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CRISPR/Cas9-mediated RBPJ depleted mouse hybridoma mature T-cells were generated as previously described (Yuan et al., 2019 (link)). T-cell lines stably expressing RBPJwt, phospho-deficient (S-to-A) or phospho-mimetic (S-to-D) RBPJ-mutant depleted MT-cells were generated as follows: 5 × 106 PhoenixTM cells were seeded and 24 h later they were transfected with the retroviral plasmid DNA without insert (control) or containing RBPJwt, RBPJS221A or RBPJS221D. Briefly, 20 μg of DNA were mixed with 860 μl of H2O and 120 μl of 2x HBS buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.05, 10 mM KCl, 12 mM Glucose, 280 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM NaHPO4) while vortexing and the solution was incubated 20 min at room temperature. In the meantime, 25 μM Chloroquine solution (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the PhoenixTM cells (1 μl/ml) and the cells were incubated for 10 min. The DNA solution was added to the cells and 12 h later the medium was replaced. After 24 h of incubation, the medium containing the retroviral suspension was filtered and Polybrene (Sigma-Aldrich) solution was added. Fresh medium was added to the PhoenixTM cells that were maintained in culture for further infections. The retroviral solution was used for spin infection of MT cells by centrifuging 45 min at 1800 rpm at 37°C. In total, four spin infections were performed over 2 days. Positively infected cells were selected with Blasticidin (Gibco).

Proteasome Inhibition Effects on Cell Cycle

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A 10 µM chloroquine solution (2x) (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA), a 10 mM MG132 solution (2x) (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO, USA), and a 25 µM EMD638683 solution (2x) (Cayman Chemical Co., Ann Arbor, MI, USA) were prepared in PBS (137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 8 mM Na2HPO4, and 2 mM KH2PO4) from concentrated solutions diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to achieve a final DMSO concentration of 0.02%. Indeed, the additional effects of proteasome inhibitors on cell cycle progression and induction of apoptosis are well-known. However, the concentration and duration of incubation we used had the desired effect of inhibiting the chymotrypsin-like activity of the proteasome [41 (link)].

5 × 106 Phoenix™ cells were seeded and 24 h later cells were transfected with the plasmid DNA of choice. Briefly, 20 μg of DNA were mixed with 860 μl of H2O and 120 μl of 2 M CaCl2 by vortexing. The DNA solution was transferred dropwise to 1 ml of 2× HBS buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.05, 10 mM KCl, 12 mM glucose, 280 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM NaHPO4) while vortexing and the solution was incubated 20 min at room temperature. In the meantime, 1 μl/ml of 25 μM Chloroquine solution (Sigma-Aldrich) were added to the Phoenix™ cells and the cells were incubated for 10 min at room temperature. The DNA solution was added to the cells and after 12 h of incubation at 37°C with 5% CO2, the medium was replaced with fresh one. After 24 h of incubation, the medium containing the retroviral suspension was filtered and 1 μl/ml of 2 mg/ml Polybrene solution (Sigma-Aldrich) were added. Fresh medium was added to the Phoenix™ cells that were kept in culture for further infections. The retroviral solution was used for spin infection of MT cells by centrifuging 45 min at 1800 rpm at 37°C. In total, four spin infections were performed over 2 days. Positively infected cells were selected with puromycin (Serva) or blasticidin (Gibco) and, eventually, GFP positivity was analyzed using a BD FACS Calibur.

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.
