(c) Transduced hAD-MSCs after puromycin selection; abundant green cells and GFP expression exhibit high transduction level (d) FACS analysis of the transduction rate after puromycin selection indicated that more than 90% of the cells were GFP positive.
From above, cells were co-transfected with circular TALENs and linearized pBLC-TK, plated on 6-well plates and maintained at 37[degrees]C, under puromycin selection.
Because the lentivirus vector contains both GFP gene and puromycin resistance gene, we used both markers for evaluation and selection of transductants.
Then, puromycin selection was performed in the presence of 2 mg/ml puromycin for 2 weeks.
After 48 h, Hygromycin B (500 [micro]g/mL; Sigma-Aldrich), Neomycin (750 [micro]g/mL; Life Technologies), and Puromycin (5 [micro]g/mL; Sigma-Aldrich) were added to cell cultures.
The [hUDSCs.sup.miR-375+] were exposed to 2.5 [micro]g/mL puromycin for 3days to obtain stable transduction.
After lentivirus infection and puromycin selection, the drug-resistant cells were obtained.
