Description:
Applied StemCell, Inc (Milpitas, CA) was contracted to generate the Iba1-EGFP knock-in rat model using
CRISPR/Cas9 technology in the Sprague Dawley rat strain. The donor construct inserted consisted of the
EGFP coding sequence (minus the first ATG), followed by the 22 amino acid sequence of the porcine
teschovirus-1 2A (P2A) self-cleaving peptide, and then the first exon of the rat Iba1 gene immediately
downstream of the translational start site. Guide RNA with the following sequence: 5'- TACCCTGCAAATCCTTGCTCTGG-3' targeting the Iba1 gene just
downstream of the translational start site were used.
