▲ CRITICAL As cell types can vary greatly in their response to FACS, clonal-density dilution or other isolation procedures, literature specific to the cell type of interest should be consulted. 66Dissociate the cells from the transfected wells (Steps 11 or 28) 48 h after transfection. Take care to dissociate to single cells. A cell strainer (Step 60) can be used to prevent clumping of cells.67Count the number of cells from each 24-well plate, and serially dilute them in D10 medium to a final concentration of 0.5 cells per 100 μl to reduce the likelihood of having multiple cells per well. We recommend using 60 cells in 12 ml of D10 medium for each 96-well plate, and plating at least two 96-well plates for each transfected population.
