This video demonstrates a technique for Cas9 ribonucleoprotein-mediated genetic modification of primary natural killer (NK) cells. A Cas9 ribonucleoprotein, consisting of a Cas9 endonuclease bound to a guide RNA (gRNA) formed by base pairing a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and a trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA), is introduced into primary natural killer cells via electroporation. The ribonucleoprotein targets and cleaves the host DNA at the target site, leading to gene knockout via modification of the target gene through cellular repair machinery.
Protocol
All procedures involving sample collection have been performed in accordance with the institute's IRB guidelines. 1. Human NK Cell Purification and Expansion Isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from Buffy Coat. Layer 35 mL of buffy coat sample on 15 mL of Ficoll-Paque. Centrifuge at 400 x g for 20 minutes without brake and collect the PBMC from the interface. Wash the recovered PBMCs three times by adding at leas…
