Applications: Transient expression of Cas9 in target cells.
Generation of a stable Cas9 over-expressing cell line following hygromycin selection.

Background: Cas9 (Streptococcus pyogenes CRISPR associated protein 9) is an endonuclease enzyme that, when recruited to a specific DNA sequence by the sgRNA (single guide RNA), introduces a double stranded break into the DNA. This double stranded break is repaired in mammalian cells either through Non-Homologous End Joining or Homologous Recombination. Non-Homologous End Joining often results in the deletion or insertion of several base pairs at the cut site, which, when resulting in a frameshift, causes the functional inactivation of the targeted gene.

Description: Cas9 Lentivirus can be used to generate Cas9 expressing cells in almost any mammalian cell line. Cells stably expressing Cas9 can then be transduced or electroporated with sgRNA targeting a gene of interest to quickly generate knock-out cell pools or cell lines.

The Cas9 Lentiviruses are replication incompetent, HIV-based VSV-G pseudo-typed lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a Cas9 gene driven by an EF1a promoter, along with a Hygromycin selection marker.

Formulation: The lentiviruses were produced from HEK293T cells in medium containing 90% DMEM + 10% FBS.

Storage Stability: Lentiviruses are shipped with dry ice. For long term storage, it is recommended to store the virus at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze-thaw cycle.

Supplied As: Two vials (500 µl x 2) of lentivirus at a titer 1 x 10^7 TU/ml. The titer will vary with each lot; the exact value is provided with each shipment.

Warnings: Lentiviruses are shipped with dry ice. For long term storage, it is recommended to store the lentiviruses at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Titers can drop significantly with each freeze-thaw cycle.

Biosafety Level: BSL-2
