Generation of Fz4 Knockout Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Fz4MGK mouse was generated using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. An sgRNA (AGGAAAAGGCAACGAGACTG) targeting exon 2 of Fz4 was selected and synthesized, as described by Pelletier et al. (2015) (link). Briefly, a dsDNA template containing the sequences for a T7 promoter, the sgRNA, and a tracrRNA scaffold was generated by tandem PCR amplification and purification on a Qiagen column (Qiagen 28106). In vitro transcription of this dsDNA template was performed using the MEGAshortscript T7 Kit (Invitrogen AM1354), and products were purified using the MEGAclear Transcription Clean-Up Kit (Invitrogen AM1908). The Cas9 mRNA was transcribed from a modified pX330 plasmid (Addgene 42230), which contains a T7 promoter (pX330+T7), using the mMESSAGE mMACHINE T7 Ultra Transcription Kit (Invitrogen AM1345). The transcript was purified by LiCl precipitation. The quality of all purified transcripts was confirmed using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. The sgRNA and Cas9 mRNA were injected into C57BL/6 x SJL F2 embryos and correctly targeted founders were identified by PCR and by sequencing of cloned PCR products.

Single-Guide RNA Design for CRISPR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To design single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs), the online program CRISPRscan (www.crisprscan.org) was used (Moreno-Mateos et al., 2015 (link)). The gRNAs were designed to target exons, except for exon 1, to be as close as possible to the transcription start site and to have no predicted off-target effects. The sgRNAs were generated from annealed primers, one containing a minimal T7 RNA polymerase promoter, the target sequence, and a tail-primer target sequence and a generic tail-end primer (Vejnar et al., 2016 (link)). To generate primer dimers, the FastStart™ High Fidelity PCR System from Sigma-Aldrich was used. A solution was prepared, containing 1 mM forward sgRNA oligonucleotide, 1 mM reverse oligonucleotide consisting of 20-nucleotide overlap with sgRNA oligonucleotide and the Cas9-binding part, 0.8 mM dNTPS, 1× FastStart Buffer and 6.25 U/µl FastStart Taq polymerase in 20 µl total volume. Annealed DNA oligonucleotide dimers were generated by denaturation at 95°C for 5 min followed by annealing by reducing the temperature by 1°C per second over 20 s to 75°C and extension at 72°C for 10 min. The gRNAs were synthetized from annealed DNA oligonucleotides, containing a minimal T7 RNA polymerase promoter, with the mMESSAGE mMACHINE™ T7 ULTRA Transcription Kit (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Microinjection of hA3A-eBE-Y130F mRNA (200 ng/μL) and sgRNA (50 ng/μL) was performed as previously described72 (link) after the MITFL247S/L247S and MITFL247S/L247S fibroblast cells were injected into the perivitelline space of enucleated oocytes. Then, the injected oocyte cytoplasm-cell complexes were fused and activated by electric pulse. The resulting reconstructed embryos were cultured in porcine zygote medium (PZM3) in 5% CO2 at 39°C for 6–7 days and each blastocyst was genotyped individually.

To generate anti-EpCAM mRNA CAR vectors, the above anti-EpCAM CAR sequence was subcloned into a pFastbac1 (Life Technologies) with EcoRI and SalI. For in vitro transcription of mRNA, the pFastbac1 vector was modified by adding a T7 promoter, a 5′UTR with Kozak sequence, a GM-CSF signal peptide (SP) encoding sequence and an alpha-globin 3′UTR sequence [39 (link)]. PCR was performed using the pFastbac1 vector as the DNA template, a forward primer CMV-F (5′-atccgctcgagtagttattaatagtaatcaattacggggtc-3′), and reverse primer T150-R. The control vector anti-CD19 CAR was produced by replacing the anti-EpCAM scFv with an anti-CD19 scFv sequence. Capped mRNA was generated through in vitro transcription of the PCR DNA templates using the mMESSAGE mMACHINE T7 ULTRA transcription kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) or the mScript™ RNA system (Epicentre, Madison, WI). For mRNA electroporation, 0.2 ml of the expanded T cells was mixed with 20 μg mRNA and electroporated in a 2-mm cuvette (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) using a NEPA21 electroporator (Nepagene, Chiba, Japan) with the following parameters: voltage 240 V, pulse length 4 ms, pulse once.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
