The ArciTect™ Human CRISPR Optimization Kit is a flow cytometry-based kit designed to enable rapid optimization of genome editing in human cells. It can also be used as a positive control for experiments using the ArciTect™ CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing system in human cells. The kit comprises ArciTect™ Human B2M sgRNA, ArciTect™ Cas9 Nuclease, and a fluorophore-conjugated beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) antibody. ArciTect™ Cas9 Nuclease must first be complexed with ArciTect™ Human B2M sgRNA, followed by delivery into human cells and subsequent culture for 48 - 96 hours. Following culture, editing efficiency can be assessed quickly by collection and processing for flow cytometry using a fluorophore-conjugated B2M antibody.
This kit has been tested and validated for use with the ArciTect™ line of genome editing products. By targeting the B2M gene that encodes a ubiquitously expressed cell-surface protein, editing efficiency can be rapidly and quantitatively assessed using flow cytometry methods. This technique also enables additional evaluation of editing success such as viability monitoring and/or assessment of cell type-specific marker expression
