Reagents for 6.2 kdorfman Mon, 10/17/2011 - 20:29Monday 10/24
Students use the same cell type as for Lab 6.1
PBS for rinsing live cells WARM
PBS for rinsing fixed cells RT
Take from the supply of sterile aliquots
Growth media for incubation WARM
10 mL aliquots each
- F10-Hams for LLCPk cells
- DMEM for 3t3 cells
- non-CO2 medium for observing live cells (could use this for all cells for simplicity's sake)
TMR-dextran to stain endosomes in cells on coverslips
Invitrogen D3308, 10 mg
Make 10 mg/mL stock (add 1 mL to the bottle)
Make 8.8 µL aliquots in 2 mL tubes.
TMR-dextran Working concentration = 0.05 mg/mL in medium
2 coverslips at 50 µL/coverslip (=~110 µL/group)
Add 1751.2 µL medium to 8.8 µL 10mg/mL stock to make 0.05 mg/mL working solution.
Aliquot ~105 µL/group

TMR-dextran/ FITC-dextran to stain endosomes in cells in MatTeks
tmr as above
FITC-dextran Working concentration = 0.5 mg/mL in medium
(1mg/mL might be better, but that uses up a whole bottle.)
2 dishes at 100 µL/dish (=~220 µL/group)
Add 1742.4 µL medium to an 8.8 µL aliquot of 10 mg/mL TMR-dex plus 8.8 µL 100 mg/mL FITC-Dex

Methylamine solution (1M)
Sigma 426466-100mL 40% w/vol (=12.9M; MW=31) ~$25
(Working concentration ~20mM - ~20µL/mL. Students need ~100 µL)
Make 1 mL, aliquot ~120 µL
