In vivo genome-wide CRISPR screens of human T cells in solid tumours

Identification of an Fgd5-positive subset of iNKT1 cells with enhanced cytotoxicity.

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are unconventional ɑβ T cells that respond to lipid-based antigens. They play a vital role in response to infections and are involved in diseases such as allergic asthma and cancer. Despite clear immunological roles across multiple diseases, remarkably few tools exist to study iN...

Genome-scale perturb-seq in primary human CD4+ T cells maps context-specific regulators of T cell programs and human immune traits

This study perturbed all expressed genes across 22 million primary human CD4+ T cells from four donors and developed a probe-based perturb-seq platform to measure the transcriptome effects in cells at rest and after stimulation, allowing it to map genes regulating immune pathways, including previously uncharacterized r...

Virus-like particles enable targeted gene engineering and pooled CRISPR screening in primary human myeloid cells.

A virus-like particle (VLP)-based toolkit that delivers diverse CRISPR editing modalities to human monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells with high efficiency while preserving viability and innate immune responsiveness is presented.
