Abstract:
Although several genome editing options are available, CRISPR/Cas9 is one of the most commonly used systems for protein and advanced therapies. There are some long-term data regarding genomic and phenotypic stability, however, information is sparse. Flow cytometry can offer a method to characterize these edited cells for longitudinal studies. The objective of this work is to describe a protocol for using flow cytometry to measure the edits from CRISPR/Cas9 on a well-characterized B-lymphoblast cell line, GM24385, with the goal of supporting safe and effective CRISPR/Cas9-engineered therapies.
