K562, Raji, and Ramos 2G6 (CRL-1923) cells were obtained from ATCC. Cell lines were cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. For gene editing, 2 × 105 cells (K562) or 4 × 105 cells (Raji and Ramos) were pelleted by centrifugation and washed with PBS. AAV6 transductions were performed in 10 μL of serum-free RPMI media for 1 hour at 37°C in a 96-well U-bottom plate prior to electroporation, as previously described.33 Cas9 RNPs were complexed by mixing 3000 ng TrueCut Cas9 protein v2 (Thermo Fisher) with 60 pmol of gRNA (Synthego) for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Cells were then washed with PBS and resuspended in 20 μL of SF (K562) or SG (Raji and Ramos) buffer (Lonza) and mixed with Cas9 RNPs. If appropriate, cells were also mixed with 1.4–2 μg of plasmid homology donors or 100 pmol phosphorothioate-modified ssODNs as previously described.59 Electroporations were performed with the 4D-X Nucleofector (Lonza). K562 cells used pulse code FF-120, Raji cells used pulse code DS-104, and Ramos cells used pulse code CA-137.
J3-, A6-, or GFP-edited Raji and Ramos cells were expanded in culture. J3 and A6-edited cells were stained with anti-IgG-Fc antibody (BioLegend, clone M1310G05). Cells were sorted on a FACSAria II cell sorter based on membrane IgG expression (J3 and A6 editing) or GFP expression.

HFF transfections were performed with the Lonza 4DX Nucleofector using the P2 Primary Cell Solution kit (PBP2-02250) and the NHDF transfection protocol. Transfections were performed with 1–1.5 μg of pEGFP–N1-α-actinin-1 (a gift from Carol Otey, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Addgene plasmid 11908), 1 μg of pCMV-LifeAct-TagRFP (purchased from Ibidi), 1.4 μg of tdTomato–paxillin-22 (a gift from Michael Davidson, National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Department of Biological Science, Florida State University; deceased 2015; Addgene 58123), pEGFP-MRLC1 (a gift from Tom Egelhoff, Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland Clinic; Addgene 356801), and/or RFP-zyxin (a gift from Anna Huttenlocher, University of Wisconsin–Madison; Addgene plasmid 26720; Bhatt et al., 2002 ).

Efficient AAV Transduction of Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells and HeLa cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Cells were seeded overnight to adhere to plates and washed once with PBS prior to AAV transduction in DMEM, with or without FBS or human AB serum. FBS was heat-inactivated at 56°C water bath for 30 min. AAV vectors were added to cells at indicated MOIs, and after 4 h at 37°C, 10% FBS (final volume) was restored to the culture if appropriate.
K562, Raji, and Molt4.8 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Cells were washed twice with PBS, seeded into plates at indicated cell concentrations in RPMI-1640, with or without FBS or human AB serum, and transduced with AAV vectors at indicated MOIs at 37°C. After 2 h (or as indicated), 10% FBS (final volume) was restored to the culture if appropriate. Electroporation of K562 cells was performed using a SF Cell Line 4D-Nucleofector kit and 4D-X Nucleofector using pulse code FF-120 (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), per the manufacturer’s recommendations. After 2 days, GFP expression was measured by flow cytometry, and vector copy numbers were measured by Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) as previously described.36 (link) Detailed protocols for AAV copy number determination are provided in the supplemental methods.

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.
