  • Production details: CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing of the Xist-TetOP XY ESC line
  • Additional notes: Cancer Research Technology Limited (trading research tools as Ximbio) has been granted a non-exclusive license to the CRISPR-Cas9 technology by ERS Genomics Ltd under the patent rights listed here. This license from ERS Genomics Ltd allows Ximbio to develop and commercialise CRISPR-Cas9 modified cell lines for research use only. Ximbio can provide these modified CRISPR-Cas9 cell lines to companies under a label-use only license.

  • For Research Use Only

Target Details

  • Target: Mouse Xist lncRNA

Application Details

Handling

  • Format: Frozen
  • Growth medium: ESCs grow in feeder-free classic ESC medium DMEM media containing 15% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 103 U/ml leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF), 10-4 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 50 U/ml penicillin, and 50 ?g/ml of streptomycin (Gibco) at 37°C in 5-8% CO2. Medium is changed daily Inducible expression of Xist driven by a TetO promoter is achieved by adding DOX (1.5 ?g/ml).
  • Shipping conditions: Dry ice
