Mouse Il18rap Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)

Objective: To create a Il18rap knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering.

Strategy summary: The Il18rap (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_010553 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000026068 ) is located on Mouse 1. 13 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 4 and the TGA stop codon in exon 13 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000027237). Exon 4~7 will be selected as target site. Cas9 and gRNA will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for KO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Homozygous null mice exhibit defective IL-18-mediated immune responses such as the inability of splenocytes, T helper 1 cells and neutrophils to produce cytokines in response to IL-18.

Exon 4 starts from the coding region. Exon 4~7 covers 39.47% of the coding region. The size of effective KO region: ~7411 bp. The KO region does not have any other known gene.

Note: The 2000 bp section upstream of Exon 4 is aligned with itself to determine if there are tandem repeats. No significant tandem repeat is found in the dot plot matrix. So this region is suitable for PCR screening or sequencing analysis.
