We wanted to examine changes in cell cycle when we knocked out a gene of interest in the presence and absence of radiation. We used this kit with flow cytometry to determine cell cycle distribution.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Cell cycle via flow cytometry

Starting Material

Cal27 Cell Line

Tips

Cells can be kept in PBS after ethanol fixation until staining is performed.

Results Summary

We saw a G2/M arrest in both the parental and knockout cell lines when we treated with 4Gy of radiation.
