Practice Transfections:
CONTROLS:
| Cloak |
|---|
- -ve/-ve: no actions performed on cells
- -ve: perform protocol, excluding DNA, or with dummy DNA
- +ve: tri-color control (perform experiments with YFP, BFP, mKATE separately, and one with all 3: allows for comparison of color/intensity when imaging)
