Description
CMV-hspCas9-T2A-Puro-H1-AAVS1 gRNA SmartNuclease Pre-Packaged Lentiviral Particles [>10^6 IFUs]. Cat# CASLV601VA. Supplier: SBI System Biosciences
Overview
- Easy, precise knock-in of any gene
- Consistent, robust transgene expression from the AAVS1 Safe Harbor Site
- Simplified construction of isogenic cell lines
- Minimal off-target integration when using our AAVS1 HR Targeting Vectors
- Streamlined CRISPR/Cas9 library screening
Note that we’ve specially designed a series of AAVS1 HR Targeting Vectors that greatly reduce off-target integration events (Cat.# GE620A-1, GE622A-1, and GE624A-1). Taking advantage of the AAVS1's location within an intron, these vectors come with a puromycin marker that has no promoter, only a splice acceptor site—expression of puromycin can only occur when the construct integrates within an intron, reducing the probability of recovering off-target integrants in the presence of puromycin selection. As with all of our Cas9 delivery options, the All-in-one Cas9 SmartNuclease & AAVS1 gRNA Plasmid is functionally validated and comes backed by our expert technical support team—if you’ve got a genome engineering question just ask by emailing tech@systembio.com.

CRISPR/Cas9 Basics
Through careful selection of the target sequence and design of a donor plasmid for homologous
recombination, you can achieve efficient and highly targeted genomic modification with CRISPR/Cas9.
The system
Cas9 protein—uses guide RNA (gRNA) to direct site-specific, double-strand DNA cleavage adjacent to a protospacer adapter motif (PAM) in the target DNA.
gRNA—RNA sequence that guides Cas9 to cleave a homologous region in the target genome. Efficient cleavage only where the gRNA homology is adjacent to a PAM.
PAM—protospacer adapter motif, NGG, is a target DNA sequence that spCas9 will cut upstream from if directed to by the gRNA.
The workflow at-a-glance
DESIGN: Select gRNA and HR donor plasmids. Choice of gRNA site and design of donor
plasmid determines whether the homologous recombination event results in a knock-out,
knock-in, edit, or tagging.
CONSTRUCT: Clone gRNA into all-in-one Cas9 vector. Clone 5’ and 3’ homology arms into HR
donor plasmid. If creating a knock-in, clone desired gene into HR donor.
CO-TRANSFECT or CO-INJECT: Introduce Cas9, gRNA, and HR Donors into the target cells
using co-transfection for plasmids, co-transduction for lentivirus, or co-injection for mRNAs.
SELECT/SCREEN: Select or screen for mutants and verify.
VALIDATE: Genotype or sequence putative mutants to verify single or biallelic conversion.
