Protocols
Part 1: Incubate cells with ligand and harvest for CETSA
- Collect the T75 flasks that contain your MEF cell cultures prepared in the previous laboratory session.
- Use the microscope to examine your cell cultures.
- Make note of the confluency in your laboratory notebook!
- Clearly label your flasks to reflect which is the experimental (ligand) and which is the control (DMSO).
- Aspirate the media from the cells using a sterile Pasteur pipet.
- Wash the cells by adding 2 mL PBS using a 5 mL pipet. Slightly tip the flask back and forth to rinse the cells then aspirate the PBS with a Pasteur pipet.
- With a 2 mL pipet, add 1 mL of trypsin to the flask.
- Tip the flasks in each direction to distribute the trypsin evenly then incubate the cells at 37°C for 2 min.
- Retrieve your flasks from the incubator and firmly tap the bottom to dislodge the cells.
- Check your cells using the microscope to ensure they are dislodged. They should appear round and move freely.
- If your cells are not detached from the flasks, incubate at 37 °C for an additional minute.
- When your cells are dislodged, and add 3 mL of media to the cells then pipet the liquid up and down (“triturate”) to break up cells that are clumped together and suspend them in the liquid.
- Note: do not take up or release all the liquid, in order to avoid bubbles.
- Transfer the suspended cell cultures into separate, labeled 15 mL conical tubes.
- Pellet the cells for 3 min at 300 g in the centrifuge.
- Resuspend the cells in 15 mL PBS, then pellet for 3 min at 300 g in the centrifuge.
- Collect an aliquot of PBS from the front laboratory bench and add XX protease inhibitor to a final concentration of XXYY.
- Add 2 mL of protease containing inhibitor to each cell pellet.
- Transfer 100 μL of the 'control' cell suspension to 2 labeled PCR tubes.
- One will be the unheated control and one the heated control.
- Transfer 100 μL of each 'experimental' cell suspension to 1 labeled PCR tube.
- All of the experimental samples will be heated.
