Preparation of EMFI feeder layers Regents
Frozen vials of primary embryo fibroblasts Tissue culture dishes
PBS without Ca2+ and Mg 2+
0.05% tripsin in saline /EDTA
DMEM +10%FBS
and used within Mitomycin C (stock 1 mg/ml in PBS stored in dark at 4?
two weeks ,mitomycin C is toxic ;wear gloves and use caution when
handling )
Methods
1. Thaw a frozen vial EMFI cells quickly at 37?.
2. Add cells to 10 ml DMEM +10%FBS and centrifuge (270g,5 min)
3. Decant supernatant , resuspend the cell pellet gently in 10 ml DMEM
+10%FBS, and split onto five 150 mm plates each containing a total of
25 ml DMEM +10%FBS .Mix well.注意摇动混匀,不要单纯只按一个方向摇动,
以使细胞较均匀地分布于平皿中,。
4. Incubate cells at 37? ,5% CO 2 .
5. When the cells form a confluent monolayer (approx. three days )each
plate should either be:
(a)Thrypsinized ,split onto five additional 150 mm dishes ,and grown
until they form a confluent monolayer ,or
(b)Directly treated with mitomycin C ,丝裂霉素,to inhibit cell
growth and division .因为ES细胞与滋养细胞共培养时,未经丝裂霉
素处理的滋养细胞增殖很快,会与ES细胞竞争养分,此步丝裂霉素处理
可使滋养细胞失去增殖,但仍保持存活。
6. Remove the medium from the confluent plates and 10 ml DMEM + 10%FBS
containing 100μl mitomycin C (1mg/ml stock).Swirl plates to ensure
an even distribution of medium.
7. Incubate cells at 37?,5% COfor 2-2.5h. 2
8. Wash the monolayer of cells twice with 10 ml PBS per dish . 9. Add 5 ml trypsin /EDTA to each plate .
10. incubate 37?,5% COuntil the cells come off the plate . 2
11. Add 10 ml DMEM +10%FBS to each plate and break any cell aggregates by
gently pipetting.
12. Centrifuge cells (270 g,5min)and resuspend the pellet in DMEM+10%FBS. 513. Count the cells and dilute to a concentration of 2 ×10 cells/ml.
14. Plate the cells immediately onto tissue culture dishes containing
DMEM+10%FBS for the appropriate cell densities and volumes of medium
for different plate sizes.
15. Allow feeders to attach at least 2h ,but preferably overnight ,before
adding ES cells.
16. Change the medium to ES cell medium immediately before adding ES
cells .Mitomycin C treated EMFI feeders can be used for up to seven
days with medium changes every three to four days.

6. Incubate for approx .5 min at 37? until cells begin to come off the
plate .
7. Gently agitate the plate and observe under a microscope .When
trypsinization is complete ,cells should detach as small clumps ,not
as a single sheet or single cells.

break cells clumps,If the cells are sticky ,gently pipette before
adding medium.

Sandard electroporation ES cells
Euipment and reagents
Electroporation apparatus :Bio-Rad Gene Pulser and Capacitance Extender ES cell medium 2+2+ PBS without Ca and Mg
100 mm gelatinized plates
Geneticin (G 418)
1. On the second day after passing recently thawed ES cells ,trypsinize
cells ,but trypsinize for longer to obtain single cells. 2. After pipetting the cells gently in 3 ml trypsin to break up the
clumps ,add 7 ml medium and pipette gently up and down again . 3. Pre-plate the cells by incubating them in the dishes for 15 -20 min
to allow feeder cells to re –attach to the plate .
4. Harvest the ES cells by carefully mixing and withdrawing medium ,and
transfer cells to a 50 ml Falcon tube ,combining the cells from two
to five plate .
5. Pellet the cells for 5 min at 270 g
6. Aspirate the supernatant and resuspend the cells in a minimal volume
of PBS (,1 ml /100mm plate starting culture ).Keep cells on ice . 7. Count the ES Cells using a haemocytometer and adjust cell concentration 6 to 7-10×10cells/ml with sterile PBS .
8. Mix 0.8 ml of the cell suspention with 25 -40 μg of linearized vector
DNA ,and transfer into an electropration cavette which has been
pre-cooled on ice .
9. Set up the electroporation conditions in advance :240V,500μF for the
Bio-Rad Gene Pulser using the Capacitance Extender.
10.Transfer each cuvette holder with electrodes facing the output
leads.Deliver the electric pulse.
11.Remove each cuvette from the cuvette holder and place on ice for 20
min .
12.Remove the cells from each cuvette and dilute in appropriate volume
of ES cell medium (15-20ml/cuvette).Cells from several cuvettes can
be combined.
13.Transfer 10 ml resuspended ES cells .Disperse cells evenly by rocking
the plate.
14.Change medium the next morning.
15.Two days afer the electroporation,begin drug selection 16. Change the medium every day if working with gancyclvir,since it can
break down and become toxic to the cells,otherwise every two days when
using G418 selection only .Widespread cell death should be apparent
afer two to three days of drug selection.
初次采用的G418的浓度为200ug/ml, 虽然也能看到大批的细胞死亡,但阴性
对照,不加DNA而用TE的电转,亦见大批细胞死亡。
17.After about six to eight days of selection ,individual drug –
resistant colonies should have appeared and be large enough to pick
and subclone for screening by Southern blot analysis or by PCR and to
freeze for storage.
Growing drug resistant clones
Method
1. Prepare two sets of 96-well plates,one containing 35 μl of trypsin
/EDTA and one gelatin coated .我们没有明胶处理的培养皿,而是预先在
皿中铺种滋养细胞层,但滋养细胞过于稀疏,造成ES细胞发生分化,以后实
验应当避免,应使滋养细胞稠密完全
2. Circle all visible ES cell colonies that will be picked on the bottom
each plate with a marker by holding plate up to light or using an
inverted microscope.
3. Wash ES cell containing plates twice with PBS .Leave cells in PBS during
picking .After picking ,replace PBS with ES medium and return plate
to incubator if additional ,smaller colonies will be picked on
subsequent days.
4. Pick the 1.5-2 mm drug –resistant ES cell clones that form after about
eight days of selection with a drawn-out Pasteur pipette or a yellow
Gilson tip under ?a dissecting microscope .Pick colonies of similar
size ,or take an equivalent portion of large colonies . 挑取细胞克隆时将细胞间的显微镜置于超净台中,一半镜身,物镜,在隔离玻璃
里面,一半镜身,目镜,在外面,紫外照射消毒。操作时需要几个人,以加快速
度。
注意ES 细胞的形态应当保持球形细胞团,而发生分化的细胞克隆应当舍弃。
5. Transfer each colony in a minimal volume of PBS into one well of a V
shaped 96-well plate containing 35μl of 0.05% trypsin in saline /EDTA
at room temperature .Usually every other row is used and 48 colonies
picked at one time .
6. After picking 48 colones ,incubate plate for approx.10 min at 37?,5%
CO2 ,until cell clumps breaks up.
7. Stop the reaction by adding 100μl of ES medium containing G418 to each
well using multichannel pipettor. G418的浓度宜提高至400-600 ug/ml.
8. Mix cells gently by pipetting up and down and transfer to gelatinized
96-well tissue culture plate.
9. Wash each V-well from the trpsin plate with another 100 μl of medium
per well and add to same well of the 96-well gelatinized plate . 10.Change the medium the next day, and then daily thereafter. 11.If the colonies have not grown to ,80% confluence in two to three
days ,tryplate the cells using the following procedure:
(a) Aspirate the medium and wash the cells with PBS.
(b) Add 35 μl of trypsin /EDTA and incubate for 5 min at 37 ?,or
until the cells lift off the dish.
(c) Add 200 μl ES cell medium and break colonies up by gently
pipetting up and down .
(d) Change the medium 12-24 h later.
12.Repeat steps 1-11 on second and third picking days ,using original
plates of electroporated cells .
13.When the colonies in 96-well plates have reach at least 80% confluence
you should passage them and freeze your clones and prepare replica for
DNA analysis.
Freezing drug resistant clones and preparation of replica plates for Southern blot analysis
Method
1. Prepare the required number of sets of two 96-well gelatinzed
flatbottom plates with 200 μl ES cell medium ,and one 96-well V-bottom
plate containing 50μl cold 2freezing medium ,keep on ice.
2. Remove medium from each well of the 96-well plate containing growing
ES cell clones .
3. Wash cells twice with 200 μl PBS.
4. Add 50 μl trypsin and incubate for 10 min at 37 ?,5% CO2.
5. Observe cells under an inverted microscope .If all cells have
detached,stop trypsinization by adding 50μl of ES cell medium ,then
mix well for pipetting.
6. Working quickly ,transfer 50μl of cell suspention to the 96 V-well
master plate,which contains 50μl of pre-cooled 2× freezing medium
in each well,mix by pipetting up and down.
7. Layer 100μl of cold mineral oil on the top of each well containing
ES cells in freezing medium .
8. Seel plate by wrapping Parafilm around the outside edge where the top
and bottom meet wrap plate in aluminium foil ,and transfer in a
pre-cooled Styrofoam box .to -70 ? freezer.
9. Mix the remaining cell suspension and transfer 25 μl into each of the
two gelatinized 96-well replica plates containing 200μl of medium per
well .Return replica plates to incubator.
10.Change the medium daily on replica plates .Perform DNA extraction when
cells are overly confluent The goal is to obtain the maximum number
of cells.
