CD151 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m): sc-419532
- Target species: mouse
- 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
- CD151 CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout (KO) Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids, each encoding Cas9 nuclease and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA (gRNA) designed for maximum knockout efficiency using sequences derived from the GeCKO v2 library
- gRNA sequences direct Cas9 to induce site-specific double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the CD151 genomic locus, resulting in gene knockout through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)
- The puromycin resistance and RFP genes are flanked by LoxP sites, enabling removal of selection markers via Cre recombinase (Cre Vector: sc-418923) after establishing stable knockout cell lines

Overview
Cd151 encodes CD151, a tetraspanin that organizes membrane microdomains and modulates integrin-dependent adhesion, migration, and signaling. CD151 associates with laminin-binding integrins such as α3β1 and α6β1/β4 to influence focal adhesion dynamics, cytoskeletal remodeling, and downstream pathways including PI3K–AKT and MAPK. In mouse systems, CD151 activity contributes to epithelial integrity, angiogenic behavior, and immune cell trafficking, linking it to processes relevant to cancer invasion, fibrosis, and inflammatory tissue remodeling. Its role in extracellular matrix interactions also makes it a useful node for studying basement membrane organization and cell–cell communication.
CD151 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) is a pool of plasmids designed for targeted disruption of the Cd151 gene in mouse cell lines. Each plasmid co-expresses a unique single guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting a distinct site within the Cd151 together with the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 nuclease. The plasmids also encode GFP, allowing fluorescent identification and enrichment of successfully transfected cells by fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.
The multi-guide design increases the likelihood of generating insertions or deletions (indels) that disrupt the Cd151 open reading frame following Cas9-mediated double-strand break formation. DNA breaks introduced by the CRISPR/Cas9 system are repaired through endogenous non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathways, frequently resulting in frameshift mutations that abolish CD151 protein expression.
This CRISPR knockout system enables efficient generation of Cd151-deficient cell models for investigation of CD151 signaling, functional genomics studies, cancer biology research, and evaluation of therapeutic responses in human cell lines.

Design Variants
CRISPRs +/- HDRs
- gRNAs encoded by CD151 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m) and CD151 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (m2) target distinct sites within the Cd151 locus. One or both targeting designs may be available. See Related Products for availability.
- HDR donor constructs encoded by CD151 HDR Plasmid (m) and CD151 HDR Plasmid (m2) contain a puromycin resistance cassette and an RFP reporter flanked by Cd151 homology arms to support homology-directed repair at defined Cd151 target sites corresponding to the CRISPR/Cas9 KO designs. HDR donor availability may vary. See Related Products for availability.
