The following is an example of data generated from a CRISPRtest_GB experiment in Neuroblastoma Cas9 cells.

Flow Cytometry Scatter

Figure. CRISPRtest_GB experimental data, showing flow cytometry scatter plot analysis of GFP and BFP expressing cells at Day 10 in (A) Parental and (B) Cas9-expressing Neuroblastoma cells. The percentages of BFP-positive cells calculated in the GFP(-) BFP(+) quadrant Q3 and GFP-positive cells in the GFP(+) BFP(-) quadrant Q1 are used to calculate the percent knockout in the table below.

Calculations

Calculations Parental Cells Day 10 Cas9 Cells Day 10
%BFP 6.45 % 9.53%
%GFP 8.06% 1.16%
GFP:BFP = 8.06 / 6.45 = 1.25 = 1.16 / 9.53 = 0.12

Calculate %KO using [(GFP:BFP)Cas9 / (GFP:BFP)Parental] as follows:

1 – (0.12 / 1.25) = 90%
