4x105 ID8 cells were plated overnight in antibiotic-free medium, and transfected with 4µg PX459 using Lipofectamine 2000, selected under puromycin (2.5 µg/ml) for 48 hours and plated onto 96 well plates (10 cells/ml). Single cell colonies were expanded for DNA extraction, protein extraction and cryopreservation.
PCR primers spanning potential sites of deletion were designed (Trp53: F 5’-cttccctcacattcctttcttg-3’; R 5’-gctgttaaagtagaccctgggc-3’, Brca2: F 5’-catggagggagtcacctttg-3’; R 5’-gctctggctgtctcgaactt-3’). Clones with large PCR deletions were selected for subsequent analysis. Remaining clones were screened using the Surveyor Nuclease Assay (Integrated DNA Technology). Mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. All sequence alignment was performed using MAFFT version 7 (
