Strategies for cell type specific sgRNA expression. Cell type specific sgRNA expression can be achieved by 1) the combination of a cell type specific RNA polymerase-II (Pol-II) promoter and sgRNA flanked with self-cleaving ribozymes: e.g. hammerhead (HH) ribozyme and hepatitis delta virus (HDV) ribozyme, 2) transcript processing by cell type specific miRNA or 3) the combination of cell type specific Pol-II promoter and sgRNA flanked with a mutant transfer RNA (Mut tRNA) which has minimal promoter activity and can maximize processing activity.
