Pronuclear (PN) injection of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein-9 nuclease (CRISPR/Cas9) system is a highly efficient method for producing genetically engineered golden Syrian hamsters. Herein, we describe the detailed PN injection protocol for the production of gene knockout hamsters with the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

In Vivo Augmentation of Gut-Homing Regulatory T Cell Induction

Hongzheng Bi^1,2, Samiksha Wasnik¹, David J. Baylink¹, Chenfan Liu^1,3,4, Xiaolei Tang^1,3

¹Division of Regenerative Medicine, Department of Medicine, Loma Linda University, ²Zhengzhou University, ³Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Long Island University, ⁴Jinan Infectious Disease Hospital, Shandong University

Here we present a protocol for in vivo augmentation of gut-homing regulatory T cell induction. In this protocol, dendritic cells are engineered to locally produce high concentrations of the active vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D or 1,25[OH]₂D) and the active vitamin A (retinoic acid or RA) de novo.
