TESTIMONIAL

I used ChIP-qPCR with the Diagenode CRISPR/Cas9 polyclonal antibody to successfully show that Cas9 binds to the target region of my sgRNA, validating my CRISPR experiment. The antibody produced minimal background signal at non-specific genomic regions. I am now using the antibody to validate further sgRNA in different CRISPR cell lines.

ChIP was performed on Jurkat cells expressing dCas9-VP64-mCherry and a sgRNA targeting the IL1RN promoter. Each IP was performed using 4 million cells and 2 µL CRISPR/Cas9 polyclonal antibody (Diagenode C15310258) or 1 µg rabbit IgG control antibody (Diagenode C15410206). qPCR was carried out on undiluted ChIP DNA using SYBR green and PCR primers directed against the sgRNA binding site at IL1RN, as well as two non-target regions at the SLC4A1 and TP53 promoters. ChIP enrichment was measured using the percent input method.

    CRISPR/Cas9 Antibody ChIP Grade

    Figure 1. ChIP using the Diagenode antibody directed against Cas9
    ChIP was performed on NIH3T3 cells stably expressing GFP-H2B, nuclease dead Cas9, and a GFP-targeting gRNA. 50μg chromatin was incubated overnight at 4°C with either 5 μg of an anti-FLAG antibody or 2 μl of the Diagenode antibody against Cas9 (cat. No. C15310258). The pre-immune serum (Cas9, PPI) was used as negative IP control. qPCR was performed with primers specific for the GFP gene, and for two non-targeted regions phosphatidic acid phosphatase type 2C (Ppap2c) and protein kinase C delta (Prkcd), used as negative controls. Figure 1 shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis).

    CRISPR/Cas9 Antibody Validation in WB

    Figure 2. Western blot analysis using the Diagenode antibody directed against Cas9
    Western blot was performed on protein extracts from HeLa cells transfected with Cas9 using the Diagenode antibody against CRISPR/Cas9 (cat. No. C15310258). The antibody was diluted 1:1,000 (lane 2) or 1:5,000 (lane 3). Lane 1 shows the result with the pre-immune serum. The marker is shown on the left, the position of the Cas9 protein is indicated on the right.

    CRISPR/Cas9 Antibody Validation in IP

    Figure 3. IP using the Diagenode monoclonal antibody directed against Cas9
    IP was performed on whole cell extracts (500 μg) from HeLa cells transfected with a Cas9 expression vector (lane 1 and 3), or untransfected cells (lane 2 and 4) using 1 μl of the Diagenode antibody against Cas9 (cat. No. C15310258). The immunoprecipitated proteins were subsequently analysed by Western blot. Lane 3 and 4 show the result of the IP, the input (25 μg) is shown in lane 1 and 2.

    CRISPR/Cas9 Antibody Validation in IF

    Figure 4. Immunofluorescence using the Diagenode antibody directed against Cas9
    HeLa cells expressing Cas9 under the control of the tight TRE promoter were fixed in methanol at -20°C, permeabilized with acetone at -20°C and blocked with PBS containing 2% BSA. The cells were stained with the Cas9 antibody (cat. No. C15310258) diluted 1:1000, followed by incubation with a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody coupled to AF594. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342. Figure 4 shows the result in the presence (left) or absence (right) of doxycycline.

  • Background

    CRISPR systems are adaptable immune mechanisms which are present in many bacteria to protect themselves from foreign nucleic acids, such as viruses, transposable elements or plasmids. Recently, the CRISPR/Cas9 (CRISPR-associated protein 9 nuclease, UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot entry Q99ZW2) system from S. pyogenes has been adapted for inducing sequence-specific double stranded breaks and targeted genome editing. This system is unique and flexible due to its dependence on RNA as the moiety that targets the nuclease to a desired DNA sequence and can be used induce indel mutations, specific sequence replacements or insertions and large deletions or genomic rearrangements at any desired location in the genome. In addition, Cas9 can also be used to mediate upregulation of specific endogenous genes or to alter histone modifications or DNA methylation.

    Diagenode’s CRISPR/Cas9 polyclonal antibody shows superior signal than the original clone 7A9: a researcher from EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland has compared these two antibodies in Western blot.

    Western blot was performed using HCT116 DKO cells transduced with Krab-dCas9 (2) or non-transduced (1) cells. Then, 100,000 cells were lysed in sample buffer 2x and boiled 5 min at 95°C before loading in a 15% acrylamide gel. The same sample was loaded 3x in the same gel. The membrane was cut in 3 parts for each antibody. Membrane was blocked 1h with 3% BSA at RT. Antibodies were diluted 1:1,000 in 3% BSA and incubated overnight at 4°C. Secondary incubation was done for 1h at RT (1:10,000 dilution). Anti-hnRNPA1 was used as a loading control.

    Analysis of estrogen-regulated enhancer RNAs identifies a functionalmotif required for enhancer assembly and gene expression.
    Hou Tim Y and Kraus W Lee
    To better understand the functions of non-coding enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), we annotated the estrogen-regulated eRNA transcriptome in estrogen receptor α (ERα)-positive breast cancer cells using PRO-cap and RNA sequencing. We then cloned a subset of the eRNAs identified, fused them to single guide RNAs, and ...

    Avian influenza viruses suppress innate immunity by inducingtrans-transcriptional readthrough via SSU72.

    Innate immunity plays critical antiviral roles. The highly virulent avian influenza viruses (AIVs) H5N1, H7N9, and H5N6 can better escape host innate immune responses than the less virulent seasonal H1N1 virus. Here, we report a mechanism by which transcriptional readthrough (TRT)-mediated suppression of innate immu...
