The CRISPR-sgRNA target site was amplified by a high-fidelity PCR reaction from genomic DNA and purified by Wizard SV Gel and the PCR Clean up System (Promega). The primer sequences for PCR are shown in Supplementary Table 5. Purified PCR products (400 ng) were denatured (95 °C for 5 min) and re-annealed by gradually cooling from 95 °C to 85 °C at −2 °C/sec and 85 °C to 25 °C at −0.1 °C/sec in NEBuffer 2 (NEB) using a programmable thermocycler. The re-annealed PCR product was digested by 10 units of T7 endonuclease I (T7EI, NEB, Cat. No. M0302L) for 15 minutes at 37 °C. The reaction was stopped by the addition of 0.25 M EDTA solution, and the sample was placed on ice. The PCR products were analyzed on 2% agarose gel to quantify the intensity of the digested and undigested bands by ImageJ software or on High Sensitivity D1000 ScreenTape with TapeStation 2200 (Agilent Technologies). The percentage of nuclease-specific cleavage peak area in the summed band area (expressed as the fraction cleaved) was used to estimate the gene editing levels using the following equation35 (link), % mutation = 100 × (1 − (1 − f)1/2), where f is the fraction cleaved.

Quantifying Genomic DNA Editing Efficiency

The genomic DNA (gDNA) was isolated using the Universal Genomic DNA Purification Mini Spin Kit (Beyotime, D0063, Shanghai, China). The resultant gDNA was used as a template for PCR with primers surrounding the sgRNA-UL8 and sgRNA-UL29 target sites. The following two pair primers were used for PCR amplification, named UL8-PCR-F, UL8-PCR-R, UL29-PCR-F, and UL29-PCR-R. Next, the PCR product was incubated with T7 Endonuclease I (T7EI) (NEB, M0302S, Ipswich, MA, USA) according to the specification, and cleavage was visualized with an agarose gel (1.5%). DNA was then digested with 5–10 units of T7EI for 30–60 min at 37 °C and resolved in an agarose gel. Quantification of gene disruption was performed using ImageJ software (NIH49) and calculated using Eqs. (1) and (2):
These PCR products were also sequenced by Sanger sequencing and analyzed by Tracking of Indels by Decomposition (TIDE) (https://tide.nki.nl/).

HEK293T cells (4 × 104 cells/well) were seeded into a 96-well plate the day before transfection. The pX330A-1 × 2 and pCAG-EGxxFP-PDGFRA vectors were transfected according to the method described above. After 48 h, genomic DNA was extracted using a Wizard SV Genomic DNA Purification System (Promega). The DNA fragment around the target site was amplified using the primers listed in Table S2. PCR products were denatured in NEBuffer 2 (NEB) at 95 °C for 5 min and annealed at a ramp rate of −2 °C/s (95–85 °C) or −0.1 °C/s (85–25 °C). Annealed PCR products were incubated with T7 Endonuclease I (T7EI; NEB) at 37 °C for 15 min and analyzed by electrophoresis using 2% agarose gel. The densitometry analysis was performed using CS Analyzer 3.0 (ATTO, Tokyo, Japan). Gene modification was calculated using the formula: % gene modification = 100 × [1 − (1 − fraction cleaved)1/2].

CRISPR/Cas9 Editing of EBNA1 in EBV-Infected Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated gene editing was undertaken according to a previous report.10 The gRNA targeting EBNA1 was cloned into a Lenti‐CRISPRv2 vector. To generate EBNA1‐edited cells, EBV‐infected cells were transduced with prepared lentivirus containing the constructed gRNA plasmid. For control cells, a lentivirus containing the Lenti‐CRISPRv2 empty vector was used. These cells were screened in selective media with 1 μg/mL puromycin. After screening for approximately 1 week, clones of resistant cells were isolated, and the effect of gene editing was examined with a T7 Endonuclease I (T7EI; NEB, Beverly, MA, USA) assay as previously described.11 The gRNA sequences were listed as follows: gRNA #1, 5′‐CACCGGTGTGAATCATGTCTGACGA‐3′; and gRNA #2, 5′‐CACCGGGCCCTGATCCTGAGCCGCC‐3′.

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.
