Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting Specificity / Sensitivity CasMINI (8H3-H1) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody recognizes transfected levels of CasMINI protein. This antibody may detect several non-specific bands of unknown origin in rat cell lines. Species Reactivity: All Species Expected Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the amino terminus of CasMINI protein. Background CRISPR-Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated proteins) are RNA-guided nuclease effectors that are utilized for precise genome editing in mammalian systems (1). Cpf1/Cas12a (CRISPR from and ) proteins are members of the Class 2 CRISPR system (2). Class 2 CRISPR systems, such as the well characterized Cas9, rely on single-component effector proteins to mediate DNA interference (3). Cpf1/Cas12a and Class 2 CRISPR endonucleases permit efficient and specific genome editing that may be used as gene therapies for genetic diseases. However, virus-based vehicles used for delivery, like adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based vectors, have a limited packaging capacity. CasMINI was engineered from the naturally occurring type V-F Cas12f (Cas14) system. CasMINI is 529 amino acids, which is significantly smaller than Cpf1/Cas12a and Cas9 proteins (62% and 57% smaller, respectively), making CasMINI more suitable for virus-based packaging for delivery (4).
