SBI - Cas9 Detection Kits
Accurately monitor the expression of the Cas9 editing enzyme using a validated Cas9 polyclonal antibody and qPCR/RT-PCR primer sets to detect and quantitate Cas9 mRNA transcript expression levels.
- Cas9 Polyclonal Antibody: an IgG rabbit polyclonal antibody designed to detect wild-type Cas9, Nickase (D10A, H840A), and catalytically dead Cas9 (dCas9) in cells expressing the protein. Can be used in Western blot, immunofluorescence, ELISA or immunoprecipitation
- Cas9 Primer Sets: two sets of RT-PCR primers have been designed to validate the expression of Cas9 mRNA in cells. The amplicon for primer set 1 is 219bp and amplicon for primer set 2 is 122bp. They allow for detection of Cas9 nuclease, Cas9 Nickase and Cas9 double mutant at messenger level.
