Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

New genetic tools are needed to understand the functional interactions between HIV and human host factors in primary cells. We recently developed a method to edit the genome of primary CD4+ T cells by electroporation of CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). Here, we adapted this methodology to a high-throughput platform for the efficient, arrayed editing of candidate host factors. CXCR4 or CCR5 knockout ... [more]

Throughput

  • Low Throughput

Ontology Terms

  • biological process: response to virus (GO:0009615)

Additional Notes

  • double mutants show dual viral resistance combining restriction of the CXCR4-tropic virus as effectively as the CXCR4 knock-out cells and restriction of the VSV-G pseudotyped virus as effectively as the LEDGF knockout cells
