Plating Dinn-1 Cells for Infection then RNA

I planned to do these in 24 well plates, and have 1 plate per day that needs to be frozen so I don’t need to disturb plates that are not being used on certain days.

  • Each well needs ~1mL of cells and fluid
  • I cell scraped a flask of Dinn-1 cells
  • Pelleted the cells and removed the supernatant
  • Resuspended the cells in 30mL of fresh medium
  • Added 1mL of cell solution to each well in the planned 24 well plates
  • These plates were put in the incubator until infection so they could grow out
  • Outer wells were filled with water to prevent evaporation
