titleExpected Results

We expect the tango cleavage system to have virtually no difference between active and inactive receptors because the BCR requires (actually, some papers say that it doesn't?) Lyn to recruit Syk.

Expand
titleProtocol

Day1

Seed the cells on a plastic plate using splitting cells and seeding plates protocol

Day2

Transfect the cells using either the lipo2k protocol

Day3

add a dox ladder

titleAnalysis

 

B-Cells of any kind were unavailable for use as a positive control for this experiment. Moreover the mKate transfection marker in our control did not show as much red fluorescence as was expected. The cytometry data remains inconclusive but the BCR plots suggest that there was BCR localization. Moreover the microscopy clearly shows membrane localization of the BCR in both permeablized and non-permeablized cells. This experiment will be repeated once B-Cells Become available. Additionally in this experiment no untransfected unstained control was planned into the plate and thus we had to collect one on very short notice. For the next experiment this control will be planned into the experiment. A final problem with this experiment was a mix up in sample labels that resulted in a mislabeling of cytometry samples. The data however was sufficiently different for the samples to be re sorted into their original labels. Due to the various problems and limitations in this initial experiment there will be a repeat of this experiment done as soon as B-Cells become available as a positive control.

titleExpected Results

We expect to see clear yellow fluorescence around the blue stained nuclei indicating BCR localization to the HEK cell membrane. Moreover Transfection efficiency as measured by our mKate transfection marker should correlate to anti IgM fluorescence in the flow cytometer.

Expand
titleProtocol

Day 1

Cells were seeded using the Gelatin Treatment for Glass Plates protocol (1 mL/well was used) for plate 1. For plate 2 the standard Splitting Cells & seeding plates protocol was used.

Day 2

All cells were transfected based on the above plate map using the Transfection (Lipofectamine 2000) protocol.

Day 3

Cells were left to grow

Day 4

Plate two was run through the flow cytometer. They were prepared using the Immunostaining for Flow Cytometry protocol.

Plate one was used for fluorescent microscopy. It was prepared with the Immunostaining for Fluorescent microscopy protocol. Wells 1-12 were permeablized with Triton-X100 while wells 13-24 were left with their membranes intact.
