(A) Generation of the Boff-p210 Cas9 cell line. (Left panel) FACS plots showing the lower frequency of GFP-positive cells in Cas9-expressing cells compared with parental cells, both transduced with pXPR011. (Right panel) Quantification of GFP expression (mean ± SD). (B) Schematic representation of BCR/ABL fusion transgene and the sequences of sgRNAs for editing. Schematic representation of the BCR/ABL fusion transgene, and the sequences of three sgRNAs designed to edit BCR/ABL. One of them, Bcr-Abl sgRNA (highlighted in the red box) had 10 bp complementary to the BCR sequence and 10 bp complementary to the ABL gene, providing high specificity with the fusion gene sequence. Tk-Abl 1 and Tk-Abl 2 sgRNA were complementary to the ABL sequence. The arrowhead indicates the expected Cas9 cleavage site. PAM (highlighted in the black box) is the protospacer-adjacent motif required for Cas9 nuclease activity.
