One-step method to create a three-guide RNA CRISPR tool for turning off genes in mouse brain neurons

Updated

Abstract

A protocol for constructing a vector expressing three guide RNAs targeting a single gene in the mouse brain is outlined.

  • The protocol facilitates the design of CRISPR knockout guide RNAs that target one specific gene.
  • Steps include plasmid construction and verification for effective gene editing.
  • Neonatal adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors are utilized for delivery into the mouse brain.
  • Brain preparation and immunofluorescence are employed to validate gene disruption.
