    Transfection for red/blue/UV light induction in CHO-K1 (from Toolbox)

    CHO-K1 cells were transfected for red, blue and UV light induced gene activation. Cells that were transfected for UV light were also transfected with Renilla. This was done for normalization, because UV light can kill the cells.

    01.10.13

    Light start

    Both transfected cell lines were illuminated: 1 CHO plate & 1 NIH plate with red light 660 nm, 1 CHO plate & 1 NIH plate with blue 465 nm and 1 CHO plate & 1 NIH plate with UV light 311 nm. For every cell line and light system there was a dark control plate (red light's dark control is far red light of 740 nm because the system is reversible)

    Light stop

    Light was stoped for UV and blue light illumination (after 24 hours) (CHO and NIH cells). 200 µl supernatant were removed from each well for SEAP measurements. SEAP measurement was done according to standard protocol.
