Hi

From experience does anyone know if there is a link between cell passage number and gene-editing efficiency?

I suspect there might be an inverse relationship (ie high passage number = lower gene-editing efficiency). This is because cell lines which I had previously edited by CRISPR-Cas9 last year, are no longer able to be edited using CRISPRMAX lipofectamine.

Subsequently,

-) The gRNA & Cas9 protein were shown to be functional (tested by in-vitro cleavage assay)

-) The T7E1 assay used in an attempt to detect gene-editing was not the issue (confirmed by a positive control I included)

I would appreciate any sort of feedback on this my hypothesis as well as any other ideas.

Thank you

Ifeanyi
