The gRNAs were cloned into
CROPseq-Guide-Puro (Addgene, #86708)
44 (link). All the gRNAs were pooled together in equal concentrations. BMDCs were transduced and selected with puromycin in the experiments that are shown in Supplementary Fig.
5 and Fig.
4. In the experiment in Fig.
3, the cells were not selected.
For the experiment shown in Supplementary Fig.
5, we used gRNA-
Cd86, gRNA-
CD274, and gRNA-non-targeting. On day 8, cells were incubated with CD86 and PD-L1 barcoded antibodies and washed three times with cold PBS.
For the double targeting
Cebpb and
Nr4a3 experiment in Fig.
3, gRNA-
Cebpb and gRNA-
Nr4a3 were cloned into the
CROPseq-Guide-Puro (Addgene #86708).
For the experiment in Fig.
4, a pool of 32 gRNAs was cloned into
CROPseq-Guide-Puro (Addgene #86708). HashTag Oligonucleotide (HTO) antibodies and anti-CD86 and anti-PD-L1 ADT TotalSeq™ antibodies were used. After three washes with cold PBS, 50,000 cells were loaded on seven channels of 10X Genomics Chromium single-cell 3′ chip.
HTO and ADT sequences were recovered from the cDNA using the manufacturer protocol
12 (link). gRNA sequences were recovered from the cDNA libraries.
CDNA, ADT, HTO, and the gRNA libraries were sequenced using
Novaseq6000 (Illumina).
