Validation Experiment: Independent validation of Sontheimer delivery platform using heavily modified guide RNAs complexed with Cas9 proteins to deliver CRISPR/Cas9 to mouse brain
PI: Stephen A Murray, PhD
Description: Heavily modified guide RNAs complexed with Cas9 proteins are injected locally to mouse striatum to activate reporter gene (mGFP). Editing detected via DAB staining in coronal brain sections.
Editing Assay:
Editing efficiency calculated by counting eGFP expressing cells (DAB+) 0.5 mm from either side of the injection track compared to hematoxylin labeled nuclei in mouse striatum. Cell counting is done with FIJI macro. #DAB+ (eGFP+) cells/total number of cells in ROI *100 = Percent edited cells in ROI
