Using 12 Well Plates of Myd88 and Dv-1 Cells to Infect With DiNV and Take Day 0 Samples

Using the day 26 innubila primaries infected with DiNV fluid from Kent for this infection experiment.

Plate layouts:

Day 0 1   2   3   4  
A Dv-1 Infected with DiNV replicate 1   Myd88 Infected with DiNV replicate 1   Dv-1 not infected replicate 1   Myd88 not infected replicate 1  
                 
                 
B Dv-1 Infected with DiNV replicate 2   Myd88 Infected with DiNV replicate 2   Dv-1 not infected replicate 2   Myd88 not infected replicate 2  
                 
                 
C Dv-1 Infected with DiNV replicate 3   Myd88 Infected with DiNV replicate 3   Dv-1 not infected replicate 3   Myd88 not infected replicate 3  
                 
                 
Day 5 1   2   3   4  
A Dv-1 Infected with DiNV replicate 1   Myd88 Infected with DiNV replicate 1   Dv-1 not infected replicate 1   Myd88 not infected replicate 1  
                 
                 
B Dv-1 Infected with DiNV replicate 2   Myd88 Infected with DiNV replicate 2   Dv-1 not infected replicate 2   Myd88 not infected replicate 2  
                 
                 
C Dv-1 Infected with DiNV replicate 3   Myd88 Infected with DiNV replicate 3   Dv-1 not infected replicate 3   Myd88 not infected replicate 3  
                 
                 
  • Thawed 6 40ul aliquots of the cell fluid with DiNV on ice
  • Prepared 12 1.5mL tubes to put the supernatant of the day 0 wells into. Sample names can be seen here
  • Did all processes in the cell culture hood
  • Pipette mixed vials of DiNV fluid before using
  • Added 20ul of DiNV fluid to wells A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2 in both the day 0 and day 5 plates
  • After adding to the well, I gently rocked the plate back and forth
  • For the day 0 plate, removed all the supernatant from each well and put it in the respective 1.5mL tube
  • Added 1mL of 1X PBS to each now “empty” well in the day 0 plate too have fluid for the cells
  • Taped up the plate and put the supernatant tubes in a new box and put it all in the -80
  • Put the day 5 plate in the 23C incubator until Monday
