Homology-Directed Repair (HDR) Knock-in Templates
One powerful application of CRISPR/Cas genome editing technology involves the precise insertion of DNA sequences via the homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway. While many factors may affect the efficacy of this approach, choosing the right HDR template is certainly an important one. GenScript now offers high quality, sequence verified HDR templates for maximizing the editing efficiency of your CRISPR experiments.

─ Highly efficient non-viral T cell engineering process at clinical scale with GenExact™ ssDNA
Collaboration with Marson's lab from UCSF (University of California San Francisco) showed that:
- GenExact™ ssDNA consistently outperformed in-house generated HDRTs (homology-directed repair templates), showing lower levels of toxicity and higher knock-in efficiencies;
- The KI efficiency of GenExact™ ssDNA via electroporation without any enhancer can reach to 46.2% at a GMP-compatible scale;
- KI positive live cells count generated by GenExact™ ssDNA was way above estimated patient dose (100*10e6). In vitro assays demonstrated efficient killing of BCMA-CAR cells.
