Optimized CRISPR/CAS9 Delivery for Disease Model Generation

publication date: Dec 29, 2015

author/source: AMSBIO

AMSBIO has launched DNA-In® CRISPR – an innovative transfection reagent that simplifies and accelerates genome editing using large plasmids and difficult-to-transfect cells for life science researchers generating disease models.

 large plasmidsSince its emergence, CRISPR-Cas9 technology has been rapidly adopted as a mainstream approach for performing genetic manipulation. This powerful tool has transformed the process of generating “footprint-free” cellular models for studying genetic diseases. Using this approach, researchers can easily generate disease-relevant isogenic models to determine the impact of correcting or introducing disease-relevant mutations on cellular phenotypes in a tissue-appropriate context. However, problems have remained with certain cell types that are more resistant to transfection and for larger plasmids.

DNA-In® CRISPR has been specially formulated to enable highly efficient transfection of large plasmids (containing CAS9, guide-RNAs and reporter cassettes) particularly when using hard-to-transfect cell types. The reagent is fully chemically-defined and animal component-free leading to increased reliability and low cell toxicity. This makes it ideally suited for many applications, including use in pre-clinical investigations, giving researchers a regulatory head start in their hunt for new therapeutics.  DNA-In® CRISPR is a valuable new addition to the human and mouse genome editing kits and custom genome editing services offered by AMSBIO to quickly and simply generate disease models.

Founded in 1987, AMS Biotechnology (AMSBIO) is recognized today as a leading company contributing to the acceleration of discovery through the provision of cutting-edge life science technology, products and services for research and development in the medical, nutrition, cosmetics and energy industries. AMSBIO is able to draw upon in-depth expertise in extracellular matrices to provide elegant solutions for studying cell motility, migration, invasion and proliferation. Widely acknowledged as an expert in cell culture, AMSBIO partners with clients in tailoring cell systems to enhance organoid and spheroid type screening outcomes from a technological and cost-effective perspective. Custom services include stable cell line production, CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing, lentivirus and adenovirus production, large scale protein production and a comprehensive portfolio of antibody services.
