TCR CRISPR/Cas9 Lentivirus (Integrating)

The T-Cell Receptor (TCR) is found on the surface of T-cells and is responsible for recognizing antigens bound to MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) molecules. Activation of the TCR results in activation of downstream NFAT signaling. The TCR consists of a heterodimer of two different protein chains, of which the alpha (α) and beta (β) chains are the predominant chains._x000D_<br />The TCR CRISPR Lentiviruses are replication incompetent, HIV-based VSV-G pseudo-typed lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a CRISPR/Cas9 gene driven by an EF1a promoter, along with 4 sgRNA (single guide RNA) targeting human TRAC (T-Cell Receptor Alpha Constant) and human TRBC1 (T-Cell Receptor Beta Constant 1) regions of the α and β chains._x000D_<br />The integrating lentivirus integrates randomly into the cell's genome to express both the Cas9 and sgRNA. Puromycin selection increases the knockout efficiency by forcing high expression levels of both Cas9 and the sgRNA, and can be used with the integrating lentivirus to quickly and easily achieve high knockdown efficiencies in a cell pool. Efficiencies also depend on the cell type and the gene of interest._x000D_

LAG3 CRISPR/Cas9 Lentivirus (Non-Integrating)

Lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3, CD223) is a cell surface protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. LAG3 is expressed on activated T-cells, Natural Killer cells, B-cells, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Its main ligand is the MHC class II, to which it binds with higher affinity than CD4. It negatively regulates cellular proliferation, activation, and homeostasis of T-cells in a similar fashion as CTLA-4 and PD-1, and has been reported to play a role in T-reg suppressive function. A number of LAG3 antibodies are in preclinical development for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disorders. LAG3 may be a better immune checkpoint inhibitor target than CTLA-4 or PD-1, because antibodies targeting CTLA-4 or PD-1 only activate effector T-cells while failing to inhibit T-reg activity, whereas an antagonist LAG3 antibody can both activate effector T-cells (by downregulating the LAG3 inhibiting signal) and inhibit induced (i.e. antigen-specific) T-reg suppressive activity.<br /><br />The LAG3 CRISPR Lentiviruses are replication incompetent, HIV-based, VSV-G pseudo-typed lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a CRISPR/Cas9 gene driven by an EF1a promoter, along with 4 sgRNA (single guide RNA) targeting human LAG3 (GenBank Accession #NM_002286) driven by a U6 promoter._x000D_Note: unlike Human LAG3 CRISPR/Cas9 Lentivirus (Integrating) (BPS Bioscience, #78053), the Human LAG3 CRISPR/Cas9 Lentivirus (Non-Integrating) is made with a mutated Integrase, resulting in only transient expression of the Cas9 and LAG3-targeting sgRNA. While this may minimize potential off-targeting risks due to either prolonged expression or integration of the Cas9, puromycin selection should not be used for more than 48 hours post-transduction, which may lower knockout efficiency.

CTLA4 CRISPR/Cas9 Lentivirus (Non-Integrating)

CTLA4 (Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Associated Protein), also known as CD152, is a protein receptor that functions as an immune checkpoint. It is expressed by activated T-cells and transmits an inhibitory signal to T-cells. CTLA4 is homologous to the T-cell co-stimulatory protein CD28, and both molecules bind to CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) on antigen-presenting cells. CTLA4 binds CD80 and CD86 with greater affinity and avidity than CD28, thus enabling it to out-compete CD28 for its ligands and act as an "off" switch when bound to CD80 or CD86. CTLA4 is an important immunotherapy target for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases._x000D_<br />The CTLA4 CRISPR Lentiviruses are replication incompetent, HIV-based VSV-G pseudo-typed lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells, including primary and non-dividing cells.
