We recommend our monoclonal Anti-Cas9-CRISPR (Cat #A-9000).
BackgroundThe discovery of CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) and Cas9 (CRISPR associated system or CRISPR associated protein 9 nuclease) found in bacteria to work as a defense mechanism against foreign DNA, has proven to be an invaluable tool to target and modify a genetic sequence in gene editing and genome engineering applications. The system, known as CRISPR/Cas9, allows for sequence-specific cleavage of a targeted genomic locus by delivering the RNA-guided nuclease (Cas9) and appropriate guide RNAs (gRNA) into a cell. In addition, Protospacer Adjacent Motif (PAM) sequence immediately following the specificity sequence is necessary for successful binding of the Cas9 nuclease.
Concentration 1 mg/ml
Description Rabbit polyclonal antibody to CRISPR/Cas9, generated with synthesized peptide corresponding to sequence of Streptococcus pyogene (S. pyogenes) CRISPR-associated endonuclease Cas9/Csn1, with further optimization for IP and ChIP due to recognition of multiple epitopes. This antibody can (a) detect CRISPR/Cas9 expression in target cells by WB, IF, or ELISA to confirm and verify whether gRNA and Cas9 vectors are successfully transfected; or (b) detect genome-wide off- and on-target effects of CRISPR/Cas9 on specific gene sites by Cas9 ChIP-seq in CRISPR genome editing.
Specificity Recognizes both Cas9 and dCas9 (nuclease deficient Cas9)
Reactivity:Species Independent
Isotype IgG
