_Transfection


1) Localisation at the cell membrane
To show the localisation of the constructs at the cell membrane transfection of the construct signalpeptide-Lipocalin-transmembraneregion-betaLactamase1-YFP was performed.
Figure 1_Transfection shows the configuration of the construct. Lipocalin, the fluorescein binding Anticalin, exhibits the extracellular part of the construct. The transmembrane region is appropriate to that of the EGF-receptor erbb1. Split-beta-Lactamase the intracellular part is labeled to the yellow fluorescent protein to detect membrane localization.

Membranelocalisation of the construct signalpeptide-Lipocalin-transmembraneregion-betaLactamase1-YFP is visible in transfected 293T cells (Figure 2_Transfection). The fluorescence of the cells is most likely restricted to the cellmembrane which confirms the assembly of the construct in the cell membrane.

METHODS
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Transfection of 293T cells
One day before transfection cells were counted in the Neubauer chamber and 6*10^4 cells/cm² were seeded in 6 well plates. Approximately 1 hour before transfection cells were washed with 1xPBS and fresh DMEM medium was added. For transfection 2µg of DNA were mixed with 25µl CaCl2 and ddH2O was filled up to 250µl. After an incubation on ice for 20 min 250µl BBS (2x) were added. This mixture was given to the cells and after 4-12 hours cells were washed and fresh medium was added.
