Table 1. Injections of TAL 3 mRNA and donor plasmid DNA in rat one-cell embryos.

Dose TALEN mRNA/DNA (ng/µl) No. Injected eggs/No. Transferred eggs (% of survival) Offspring (% of injected eggs) No. NHEJ pups (% of offspring) No. KI pups (% of offspring) Targeting frequency (% of offspring)
40 (20+20)/5 225/171 (76) 32 (14) 4 (13) 1 (3) 16
20 (10+10)/5 293/228 (79) 27 (9) 5 (19) 0 19

One pup was born dead.

Two doses of TAL 3 mRNA were used (20+20 or 10+10 ng/µl of each TALEN). The egg survival rate is shown in percentage. NHEJ indicates the number of pups that had a gene disruption event in the sequence around pA476T. The percentages were calculated within each set of TALEN mRNA amount injected.
