Plasmids from Article
| ID | Plasmid | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 216732 | pLV(gRNA)-CMV-eGFP-U6(sgCTG) | Contains a eGFP gene along with a U6 promoter driving the sgCTG (target sequence: (CUG)6). Used with the HD iPSC-derived astrocytes |
| 216733 | pLenti-U6-sgCTG-CAG-Cas9D10A nickase-Blast | Expresses SpCas9-D10A nickase under a CAG promoter together with a blasticidin resistance gene, along with a U6 promoter driving the sgCTG (target sequence: (CUG)6). Suitable for lentivirus packaging. |
| 216734 | pAAV-U6-sgCTG-CMV-GFP | AAV plasmid containing sgCTG (target sequence: (CUG)6) driven by a U6 promoter and eGFP under the control of the CMV promoter. Used for in vivo experiments. |
| 216735 | pX551-miniCMV-SpCas9D10A nickase | Expresses SpCas9-D10A nickase from a miniCMV promoter. For AAV packaging. Derived from pX551-miniCMV-SpCas9, which was a gift from Alex Hewitt (Addgene #107031) |
| 216736 | pAAV-nEF-SpCas9D10A nickase | Expresses SpCas9-D10A nickase from a nEF promoter. For AAV packaging. Derived from pAAV-nEF-SpCas9 (Addgene #87115) |
| 216737 | pAAV-CMV-SpCas9D10A nickase | Expresses SpCas9-D10A nickase from a CMVd1 promoter. For AAV packaging. Derived from pAAV-CMV-SpCas9 (Addgene #113034) |
