Figure Lengend Snippet: Assessment of morphology, on-target plasmid DNA insertion, and nuclear SMARBC1 expression in knockout clones. (A) Phase contrast images of normal Epi-iPSC, EC6A, and EC7A show no major morphological differences. Scale bar: 25 μm . (B) Target DNA amplification yielded PCR products of 604 bp ( TP53 ) and 341 bp ( SMARCB1 ), implying no on-target plasmid DNA insertion. (C) SMARCB1 staining in two negative control cell lines, CHLA-02-ATRT and CHLA-05-ATRT; one positive control, Epi-iPSC; and two SMARCB1 knockout clones, EC6A and EC7A. Scale bar: 50 μm.
Article Snippet: The patient-derived ATRT cell lines used were CHLA-02-ATRT (ATCC, Cat#: CRL-3020) from a 20-month-old male and CHLA-05-ATRT (ATCC, Cat#: CRL-3037) from a 2-year-old male.
