Figure Lengend Snippet: Generation of the TH-mOrange reporter iPSC line using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. ( A ) Scheme describing the recombination steps during the edition process. Blue arrows represent the primers used for the PCR screening procedure. Black triangles represent LoxP sites surrounding the selection cassette. ( B ) Molecular analysis of the correctly targeted clones to confirm proper P2A-mOrange cassette integration and selection cassette excision in the control iPSC line. Full-length gels are included in Fig. . ( C ) Sanger sequencing confirmed successful excision of the LoxP site-flanked cassette. ( D ) Immunofluorescence analysis of representative colonies of the TH reporter (SP_11) iPSC line staining positive for the pluripotency-associated markers NANOG, OCT4 and SOX2 (green) and TRA-1-81, SSEA3 and SSEA4 (red). Scale bar, 50 µm. ( E ) Normal karyotype of the TH reporter control iPSC line.
