Abstract

Transfection of primary T cells can be challenging. This protocol describes a method to transfect primary human naive CD4⁺ T cells with an AP-1 luciferase reporter using low-level activation by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and electroporation, as published (Palin et al., 2013). This technique is a modification of one previously described by our group (Cron et al., 2013). Anyone wishing to transfect murine T cells should consult the publication by Cron et al., 2013. This technique may be adapted for other primary T cell types by optimizing the Neon electroporation conditions, as described in the text. Other luciferase or GFP reporters may be used, and will require optimization of the stimulation conditions for that particular reporter.

Ionomycin (Sigma-Aldrich, catalog number: I3909 )
Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) (Sigma-Aldrich, catalog number: P8139 )
One Glo luciferase reagent (Promega Corporation, catalog numbers: E6110 , E6120 , or E6130 )
AP-1-luciferase reporter (as described in Vaysberg et al., 2008)
Note: This plasmid consists of a pGL3 backbone (Promega Corporation, catalog number: E1751) with 5 copies of the AP-1 binding site from the metallothionein promoter inserted into the human IL2 minimal promoter.
pEGFP-N1 (Clonetech) or equivalent GFP-expressing plasmid
Beta-actin (b-actin)-driven luciferase reporter plasmid, or other highly expressing luciferase reporter
Note: Use of a renilla luciferase-expressing plasmid is not recommended in this assay, as we found it interferes with the firefly luciferase signal.
