CRISPR-mediated gene knockout in primary T cells and BMDMs. (A) Cas9-expressing T cells were mixed with wild-type T cells. The cells were activated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies for 2 d. The activated T cells were transduced with retroviral particles expressing sgRNAs. The transduced T cells were selected with puromycin for 4 d before assessment of knockout efficiencies.

BMDMs were transduced with lentiviruses expressing sgRNAs targeting mouse CD64 and CD14 genes. The transduced cells were selected with puromycin for 4 d and the gene knockout efficiency was analyzed by flow cytometry.
