What is the molecular weight of TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2?
The molecular weight of TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 is ~163 kD
What is the difference between TrueCut Cas9 Protein (Prototype) and TrueCutCas9 Protein v2?
Both products are the same CRISPR-Cas9 protein, but the TrueCut Cas9 Protein is manufactured with a new production process and formulated to meet the standards for Ancillary Materials for Cell and Tissue-Based Products.
Is there a specific antibody that you recommend to test the delivery of TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2?
Although we do not have a specific antibody recommendation to test the delivery of TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2, we have tested the following antibodies against an older version of Cas9 (Platinum Cas9) using U2OS-Cas9 expression cell lines (generated using Cas9 lentivirus):
- Cas9 Recombinant Polyclonal Antibody (Cat. No. 711061)
- Cas9 Monoclonal Antibody (Cat.No. MA1-201)
- Cas9 Monoclonal Antibody (Cat. No. MA1-202)
Our TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 and the Platinum Cas9 have similar domains, and the TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 has better efficiencies. Therefore, these antibodies should work with TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 as well.
What is the storage buffer composition for TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 and TrueCut HiFi Cas9 Protein?
The storage buffer composition for TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 and TrueCut HiFi Cas9 Protein is as follows:
15 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1.0 mM TCEP, 50% glycerol.
Which lipid transfection reagent do you recommend using with TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 and TrueCut HiFi Cas9 Protein?
We recommend using Lipofectamine CRISPRMAX Transfection Reagent with TrueCut Cas9 Protein v2 or TrueCut HiFi Cas9 Protein.

'CRISPR-Cas9 systems provide a platform for high efficiency genome editing that are enabling innovative applications of mammalian cell engineering. However, the delivery of Cas9 and synthesis of guide RNA (gRNA) remain as steps that can limit overall efficiency and ease of use. Here we describe methods for rapid synthesis of ... More
Enhanced CRISPR/Cas9-mediated precise genome editing by improved design and delivery of gRNA, Cas9 nuclease, and donor DNA.

'While CRISPR-based gene knock out in mammalian cells has proven to be very efficient, precise insertion of genetic elements via the cellular homology directed repair (HDR) pathway remains a rate-limiting step to seamless genome editing. Under the conditions described here, we achieved up to 56% targeted integration efficiency with up ... More
