Mnk1 CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout (KO) Plasmid (h) 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 Mnk1 genomic locus, resulting in gene knockout through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ)
Mnk1 HDR Plasmid (h) (sc-402417-HDR) is recommended for co-transfection with Mnk1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h) to enable selection of successfully edited cells through HDR-mediated integration of a puromycin resistance cassette and RFP reporter gene
Mnk1 HDR Plasmid (h) is a pool of plasmids, each containing a homology-directed repair (HDR) template corresponding to the gRNA target sites in the Mnk1 CRISPR/Cas9 KO Plasmid (h)
Each HDR plasmid contains two ~800 bp homology arms flanking the puromycin resistance and RFP cassettes, designed to bind genomic DNA sequences surrounding the Cas9-induced double-strand break site and facilitate precise HDR-mediated integration
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
Following transfection, gene knockout efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: Mnk1 Antibody (A-4): sc-133107
