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.
Highly efficient RNA-guided genome editing in human cells via delivery of purified Cas9 ribonucleoproteins.

Journal:
PubMed ID:26003884
'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
Precise Correction of Heterozygous SHOX2 Mutations in hiPSCs Derived from Patients with Atrial Fibrillation via Genome Editing and Sib Selection.

'Patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offer unprecedented opportunities for the investigation of multigenic disease, personalized medicine, and stem cell therapy. For heterogeneous diseases such as atrial fibrillation (AF), however, precise correction of the associated mutation is crucial. Here, we generated and corrected hiPSC lines from two AF patients ...

Efficient gene knockout in primary human and murine myeloid cells by non-viral delivery of CRISPR-Cas9.
'Myeloid cells play critical and diverse roles in mammalian physiology, including tissue development and repair, innate defense against pathogens, and generation of adaptive immunity. As cells that show prolonged recruitment to sites of injury or pathology, myeloid cells represent therapeutic targets for a broad range of diseases. However, few approaches ... More
Precise and error-prone CRISPR-directed gene editing activity in human CD34+ cells varies widely among patient samples.
