Viability assayPALB2 variants were introduced into B400 cells using mCherry-pOZC expression vector and flow cytometry for Cherry-red was performed to select for cells expressing PALB2. Sorted cells were plated in 96-well plates and exposed to increasing amounts of Olaparib or cisplatin and incubated for a period of 5 days. Presto Blue (Invitrogen) was added and incubated for 1–2 hours before measuring fluorescence intensity on a Cytation 3 microplate reader (BioTek).
AssayGeneralClass: BAO:0003009 cell viability assay
AssayMaterialUsed: CLO:0036938 tumor-derived cell line
AssayDescription: Transient expression of wild type and variant mCherry-tagged PALB2 cDNA constructs in Trp53 and Palb2-null mouse cell line; exposure to increasing concentrations of cisplatin for 5 days induces interstrand-crosslink DNA damage; cell survival is determined by measuring fluorescence intensity after staining with a cell viability reagent.
