Figure Lengend Snippet: HEK293 FRT cells were transfected with plasmids containing the genes coding for Cas9 and three furin sgRNAs. Lysates from nine surviving cell populations were evaluated for furin expression by western blot (panel A). The untreated parental (P) HEK293 FRT line is also shown for comparison. Cells from well 2 (boxed) were clonally selected by serial dilution in a 96-well plate. Lysates from four clones were evaluated for furin expression by western blot (panel B). Well 1 (boxed) was selected for further analysis.
Article Snippet: Single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) to the furin gene were designed using the Broad Institute sgRNA design tool (CRISPick) , .
