Experiment: Validating Traffic Light Reporter 7 (TLR7) Mouse Model for HDR in Heterozygous Blastocysts
PI: Stephen A Murray, PhD
Description: WT female mouse and homozygous male mouse containing the Traffic Light Reporter 7 (TLR7) reporter at the Rosa26 locus were mated. Females were super-ovulated and zygotes harvested. Zyotes were electroporated with Cas9 RNP along with test guides and HDR donor template, and were cultured 96 hours to blastocyst stage. Blastocysts were imaged for Katushka2S (RFP) fluorescence and scored for fluorescence signal. Blastocysts were then PCR amplified for the reporter allele and Sanger sequenced. ICE analysis tool from Synthego was used to score edits. NOTE: Some blasts did not PCR amplify well and it could not be determined if they had edits. Total blasts analyzed expressing the fluorescent reporter, 103. Total blast analyzed by Sanger sequencing, 64.
Editing Assay:
- Reporter activation by NHEJ is calculated as the percent of blasts that express Katushka2S (RFP) out of the total blasts imaged. Approximately one third of NHEJ events are detected.
- Reporter activation by HDR is calculated as the percent of blasts that express Venus out of the total blasts imaged.
