IL10RB encodes interleukin-10 receptor subunit beta (IL-10Rβ), an essential accessory chain shared by multiple class II cytokine receptors, including those for IL-10, IL-22, IL-26, and type III interferons (IFN-λ). Upon ligand engagement, IL-10Rβ partners with the corresponding ligand-specific alpha subunit to support JAK1/TYK2 activation and downstream STAT signaling, shaping transcriptional programs that regulate inflammation, epithelial barrier function, and antiviral responses. This receptor subunit is therefore central to cytokine-driven immune homeostasis at mucosal surfaces and in myeloid and lymphoid compartments. Perturbation of IL10RB-dependent signaling is frequently studied in the context of dysregulated cytokine responses relevant to infection biology, inflammatory pathology, and immune-mediated mechanisms.
IL-10Rβ Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the IL10RB locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within IL10RB. When directed to adjacent sites on opposite DNA strands, the two nickases generate offset single-strand nicks that together produce a staggered double-strand break, requiring coordinated on-target activity from both guides. The resulting DNA break is resolved by endogenous cellular repair pathways, most commonly through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), leading to insertions or deletions that disrupt IL10RB function. By requiring dual sgRNA engagement at the target locus, the double nicking approach enhances editing specificity and provides a complementary CRISPR strategy for applications where additional control over targeting precision is desired.
To support efficient identification of edited cells, one plasmid encodes GFP for fluorescent visualization of transfected populations, while the companion plasmid carries a puromycin resistance gene for antibiotic selection. Together, these features support efficient enrichment of co-transfected populations and simplify the validation of IL10RB-disrupted clones.
