Anybody tried as well and came to the same (dead) end? Davide k*****[email protected] Jun 24 Hi, Davide, I tried the same plasmid that you used to target DYRK1A, HBA2, GATA4, which are tested in Han's paper, but I didn't see any indel as they did. It seems there is something wrong with this system.

And in my hands I see an effect that is slightly less than using the same target sequence region using the px459, but it works. I phosphorylated the oligos using T4PNK and transferred 300 ngago per 24 well to hek293t cells. Cheers Jan Haiyang Yu Jun 28 Hi, Jan, It is exciting that you got it work! Could you post a detailed protocol? Please include how you did T4PNK, after that did you purify your oligos? How did you transfect and how long did you wait? Thank you! - show quoted text - Debojyoti Chakraborty Jun 28 Hi guys, We have used this system and it works. We have followed the same protocol as mentioned in the paper and were able to confirm knockout both on FACS as well as western. We purified the oligos on gel after T4 PNK and saw the phenotype after 48 and 72 h. cheers debo - show quoted text - Debojyoti Chakraborty Jun 28 just a small correction: we did not purify the oligos. We used 700 ng ngAgo and 500ng sgDNA for Lipo3000 mediated transfection. - show quoted text - z*******[email protected] Jun 29 Hi debo, can you give me your protocol purified the oligo on gel, I want to repeat this experiment, I can't repeat paper of Han, maybe my oligo has some problems, I order phosphorylation oligo from company。 I can't confirm the key point whether in here。 在 2016年6月29日星期三 UTC+8下午1:04:05,Debojyoti Chakraborty写道: - show quoted text - z*******[email protected] Jun 29 I want to know,do you have sequencing result? 在 2016年6月29日星期三 UTC+8下午1:19:45,Debojyoti Chakraborty写道: - show quoted text - k*****[email protected] Jun 29 Hi, Jan, Good to hear that! I ordered the 5' phosphorylated oligo from IDT directly, and tested DYRK1A, HBA2, GATA4, but it didn't work. I will try your method to see whether it is the problem of oligos. Thanks!

Many factors affect GFP expression. So far many labs have failed to repeat the genomic DNA targeting as shown by the paper,which successfully targeted over 50 loci with 100% success rate and 20% more efficiency. If anyone has obtained NgAho induced genomic DNA indels confirmed by sequencing please share your data and tricks. r********[email protected] Jun 30 I tried in NgAgo in CHO-K1 cells, and after selection with hygromycin for 2 weeks, I got many clonies, and I extracted genomic DNA and did junction PCR, got a weak band at desired size at both ends. I am trying single clones and see if I could get better results.

Jan Winter Jun 30 Hi guys, okay some more stuff from my side, a detailed protocol will come once I did some more tests, so fare I have NO INDEL DATA. What I did: - 24 bp oligos - phosphorylated them using T4 PNK (standard reaction, 300 pM of oligo) for 1 hr at 37 with T4DNA Ligase buffer - cleaned up oligos using Qiagens Nulceotide removal kit for 4x300 pM of oligo per column - measured with Qubit ssDNA kit (but I have no clue about the phosphorylation) - transfection of 50000HEK293T cells (24 well plate, 0.5 mL per well, 50000 cells per well, 2 uL TransIT LT1 reagent) with Mirrus TransIT LT1-> 500 ng of ngAGO from Addgene and 300 ng of oligo - I do not change any medium, but I add another mL of complete grwoth medium 24 hr after transfection - FACS assay after 72 to 96 hr My HEK cells contain a custom reporter as well as Cas9 expression, which is linked with eGFP by a P2A sequence. My observations were the following: - in presence of ngAGO transfection I see a slight reduction of eGFP (even without any oligo) in the range of 3-5 % - I see no effect if I transfect 24 bp oligos alone without ngAgo - I made custom oligos against specific regions of my reporter and target genes of my reporter systems -> I see an effect in FACS wich is only present if I transfect ngAgo + Oligos together - The effect is slightly worse than transfection my sgRNA plasmid (cells are Cas9 positive) - If I compare the phenotypic effect of sgRNA vs ngAGO oligos (that target the same region), ngAgo is less effective I will do some tests next week and will also have a look at indel formation in the next month. Debojyoti Chakraborty Jun 30 Other recipients: z*******[email protected] Here's the protocol we followed: We first phosphorylated the gDNA using the PNK kit from Ambion for 1 hr followed by heat inactivation at 95 degrees for 5 min. We then went on to transfect 100,000 cells in 12 well plates as follows: Mix 1: Lipo reagent- 3ul Optimem- 43ul EGFP N1- 1 ug NgAgo- 900 ng gDNA- 500 ng Mix 2: Lipo 3000- 2ul Optimem- 48ul Mix 3: Media- 250ul Optimem- 150ul Mix1 and Mix2 was incubated for 10min each and then both were mixed together and incubated at RT for 30min This was now added to cells. To each well, 50 ul of Mix 3 was added on top. No further media was added to the cells. After 12h, the mix was removed and fresh media was added. - show quoted text - - show quoted text -
