A CRISPR-Cas9 Technique for Gene Editing in T Cells

Abstract

This video demonstrates an assay for performing gene editing in human T cells using the CRISPR-Cas9 technology. A mixture of primary CD4+ and CD8+ T cells is combined with a CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complex, targeting specific genes for knockout. Upon electroporation, the sgRNA guides Cas9 to the target DNA sequence, creating precise cuts. These cuts are then repaired by the cell's non-homologous end-joining mechanism, leading to gene knockout.
Protocol
All procedures involving sample collection have been performed in accordance with the institute's IRB guidelines. 1. Designing of sgRNAs and gene disruption in primary human T cells Designing CRISPR sgRNA's NOTE: Several servers and programs facilitate the design of target-specific single guide RNAs (sgRNA). In this protocol, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) sgRNAs were designed using CHOPCHOP (https…
