Plating 2 24 Well Plates with Dinn-1 and Dv-1 Cells for DiNV Infection and qPCR

There will be 1 plate for the 0 hour and one plate for the 5 day timepoints.

Dinn Cells

  • Cannot be counted because of clumpiness
  • Scraped a flask and transferred solution to a 15mL conical
  • Spun down the conical for 4 minutes at 800rpm
  • Resuspended the cell pellet in 16mL fresh medium
  • Added 1mL of cell solution to each planned Dinn well in the plates (see layout above)

Dv-1 cells

  • Scraped a flask and transferred 3mL of solution to a 15mL conical
  • Spun down the conical for 4 minutes at 800rpm
  • Resuspended the cell pellet in 1mL fresh medium
  • Used 20ul to count in a hemocytometer:
    • Q1: 663
    • Q2: 767
    • Q3: 555
    • Q4: 550
    • Average: 634
  • Cells per mL: 6,337,500
  • Used 254ul of cells in 16mL of fresh medium
  • Added 1mL of cell solution to each planned Dv-1 well in the plates (see layout above)
  • This was about 100,000 cells per well

Placed plates in 23 incubator overnight
