Embodiment 1

[0084] Example 1 Design and Synthesis of Targeted sgRNA for CRISPR-Cas9 / Cpf1-specific Knockout of Human LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 Gene

[0085] 1. Design of Cas-sgRNA targeting human LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 gene:

[0086] (1) Select the sequence of 5'-N(21)GG or 5'-N(21)AG on the LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 gene.

[0087] (2) The targeting site or cleavage site of the sgRNA on the LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 gene is located in the exon of the gene, which is more likely to cause the deletion of the fragment or the frame-shift mutation, thereby reaching the gene Completely inactivate the purpose.

[0088] (3) The targeting site or cleavage site of the sgRNA on the LAG-3, TIM-3 or PD-1 gene is located on the common exons of different cleavage forms.

[0089](4) Use Blat in the UCSC database or BLAST in the NCBI database to determine whether the target sequence of the sgRNA is unique and reduce potential off-target sites.

[0090] According to the above method, the present invention designed a total...

Abstract

Based on a CRISPR system, the invention provides sgRNAs specifically targeting to a human LAG-3 gene and a method for specifically knocking out the LAG-3 gene in human cells. The sgRNAs provided by the invention can accurately and effectively target to the human LAG-3 gene and precisely knock out the gene, and has excellent characteristics of high efficiency, short period and low cost. The methodcan be used for preparing human T cells having LAG-3 immune checkpoints knocked out, and then the human T cells are used in for tumor immunotherapy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering, and relates to a method for gene editing of cells, especially T cells, using a CRISPR-Cas9 system, specifically a method for using CRISPR-Cas9 to specifically knock out the LAG-3 gene in human T cells. Background technique [0002] Immune checkpoints are a series of immunosuppressive molecules. Under normal circumstances, immune checkpoints play an important role in maintaining self-immune tolerance and preventing the immune system from attacking its own organs in the fight against pathogenic infections. Many cancers achieve immune evasion through the expression of immune checkpoint proteins. of. By blocking immune checkpoints, restoring the body's own anti-tumor immune response, and using the body's immune function to eliminate cancer cells in the body has always been the dream of oncologists and cancer patients. [0003] Currently, the two most important and most studied immune checkpoint m...
