Design and Testing of Vector-Producing HEK293T Cells Bearing a Genomic Deletion of the SV40 T Antigen Coding Region
8 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
The use of the human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cell line to manufacture vectors for in vivo applications raises safety concerns due to the presence of SV40 T antigen-encoding sequences. We used CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing to remove the SV40 T antigen-encoding sequences from HEK293T cells by transfecting them with a recombinant plasmid expressing Cas9 and two distinct single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) corresponding to...
