I need help preparing methyl cellulose to develop colonies of cells that are mixed with virus for future sub-culturing. Does anyone know the amount of methyl cellulose to use and how to make it?
My goal is to take cells from a mouse's bone marrow, mix with virus, and overlay them on methyl cellulose in 35 mm dishes. However, I'm not sure how much methyl cellulose I need. I believe Methocult is ideal and they recommend 2.6%, but I only have methyl cellulose (Sigma) at the moment. I presume I ought to be able to mix 2.6% methylcellulose in RPMI that is supplemented with 2% FBS, but I'm not sure whether the methycellulose will readily dissolve into the RPMI.
Any help is much appreciated!
