Figure 1 A CRISPR/Cas9-based SV40 T-antigen immortalization strategy by targeting Rosa26 locus (A) Strategy of knocking-in SV40T and hygromycin resistance gene (HygR) into the Rosa26 locus using the CRISPR/Cas9 homology-directed-repair (HDR) technique. (a) Schematic representation of the Cas9 expression vector pCas9gG-Rosa26, which expresses Cas9 and a pair of sgRNAs targeting mouse Rosa26 locus, sgRNA1 (red) and sgRNA2 (yellow), each driven by a U6 promoter. The protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM) sequence (NGG) is in green. This vector also co-expresses eGFP for monitoring transfection efficiency. The sgRNA pairs will guide the Cas9 nuclease to the target sites and cleave genomic DNA. (b) Schematic of the donor plasmid pRosa26-TA, which consists of the hygromycin (HygR) and SV40 T antigen (SV40T) T2A fusion expression cassette flanked by the FRT sites and mouse Rosa26 homology arms. (c) After co-transfection of pRosa26-TA with pCas9gG-Rosa26 into target cells, the guide RNA pairs and Cas9 introduce double-strand breaks in the targeting vector and the targeted locus. HDR leads to the insertion of the cassette into the genome. Arrows (P1 & P2) indicate the directions and locations of PCR primers for detecting successful targeting SV40T-HygR transgenes into Rosa26 locus. (d) The proof-of-principle test of HDR in a mouse melanoma line. After co-transfected with pRosa26-TA and pCas9gG-Rosa26 vectors, the infected B16F10 cells were selected in 0.4mg/ml hygromycin B. At 5 days post selection, surviving clones were observed under fluorescence microscopy (top) and bright field (bottom). (e) PCR confirmation of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated HDR targeting of Rosa26 locus. Genomic DNA was isolated from the stable cell pool and subjected to PCR analysis using primers to amplify the integration site (P1/P2) and transgenes (G418, hygro and SV40T). M, DNA ladder. (B) A retroviral vector expressing SV40T flanked with FRT sites. The previously reported retroviral SSR #41 vector system was used as a control [47].

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.
