Generation of a human embryonic stem cell reporter line, TMEM119-EGFP, for the visualisation of in vitro differentiated human microglia

Transmembrane protein 119 (TMEM119) is a recently identified microglia marker that is not expressed by other immune cells. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we introduced enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP), into the H9 WA-09 human embryonic stem cell line, directly before the TMEM119 stop codon....

description Transmembrane protein 119 (TMEM119) is a recently identified microglia marker that is not expressed by other immune cells. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we introduced enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP), into the H9 WA-09 human embryonic stem cell line, directly before the TMEM119 stop codon. Sanger sequencing confirmed successful insertion of the EGFP sequence. The newly created cell line expressed a normal morphology and karyotype, several pluripotency markers, and the ability to differentiate into all three germ layers. H9-TMEM119-EGFP can be used to provide a deeper understanding of the role of TMEM119 in microglia by monitoring its expression under different experimental conditions.
