Abstract

Prime editors have been delivered using DNA or RNA vectors. Here we demonstrate prime editing with purified ribonucleoprotein complexes. We introduced somatic mutations in zebrafish embryos with frequencies as high as 30% and demonstrate germline transmission. We also observed unintended insertions, deletions and prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA) scaffold incorporations. In HEK293T and primary human T cells, prime editing with purified ribonucleoprotein complexes introduced desired edits with frequencies of up to 21 and 7.5%, respectively.

  • Delivery of next-generation CRISPR tools by lentivirus or ribonucleoprotein complexes may be a suitable alternative strategy to DNA mutations in adult stem cells.

    “Thus, delivery of next-generation CRISPR tools by lentivirus or ribonucleoprotein complexes may be a suitable alternative strategy to DNA mutations in adult stem cells.54,55,56”

    The Abstract reports prime editing delivered as ribonucleoprotein complexes in zebrafish embryos and primary human T cells, and suggests that RNP delivery could broaden therapeutic applications. It does not establish lentiviral delivery or suitability in adult stem cells; it describes viral-vector delivery as challenging instead. The cited paper therefore supports the RNP possibility, but not the full claim. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
