Datasheets
  • Target species: human
  • 20 µg of transfection-ready, purified plasmid DNA; Suitable for up to 20 transfections
  • TET3 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a pair of plasmids each encoding a D10A mutated Cas9 nuclease and a target-specific 20 nt guide RNA (gRNA) designed to knockout gene expression with greater specificity than its CRISPR/Cas9 KO counterpart
  • Paired gRNA sequences are offset by approximately 20 bp to allow for specific Cas9-mediated double nicking of the genomic DNA, which mimics a DSB
  • One plasmid in the pair contains a puromycin-resistance gene for selection; the other plasmid in the pair contains a GFP marker to visually confirm transfection
  • TET3 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) and TET3 Double Nickase Plasmid (h2) encode distinct paired gRNA designs targeting TET3. One or both designs may be available
  • Following transfection, gene knockout efficiency can be assayed by WB, IF or IHC using antibody: TET3 Antibody (D-7): sc-518126

    Human TET3 encodes a Fe(II)/2-oxoglutarate–dependent dioxygenase that catalyzes iterative oxidation of 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and further derivatives, supporting active and passive DNA demethylation. This activity shapes epigenetic programming, chromatin accessibility, and transcriptional control during early development, neuronal maturation, and cellular reprogramming, and interfaces with DNA repair and replication-associated processes. Dysregulated TET3-dependent hydroxymethylation has been implicated in altered gene expression programs observed in neurodevelopmental phenotypes and tumor biology, making it a relevant target for mechanistic studies of epigenome dynamics.

    TET3 Double Nickase Plasmid (h) consists of a matched pair of plasmids engineered for high-specificity editing of the TET3 locus in human cell lines. Each plasmid expresses a Cas9 D10A nickase and a distinct sgRNA targeting opposite DNA strands within TET3. 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 TET3 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 TET3-disrupted clones.
