B. phenol chloroform extraction:
1) taking out the EP tube, reversing and mixing evenly, and centrifuging at 1,2000rpm for 10 min;
2) sucking 400ul of supernatant into a new EP tube, adding equal volume of phenol/chloroform, turning upside down, mixing for 3min, slightly standing, and centrifuging at 1,2000rpm for 5 min;

The results are shown in FIG. 3.
3.2, PROM1-KO mouse PROM1 protein detection is shown in FIG. 4.
The PROM1 protein was found to be absent by retinal staining. A: PROM1 protein is mainly expressed in outer segment layer of WT mouse retina photoreceptor cell, and PROM1-KO mouse retina has no PROM1 protein expression. B: WT and PROM1-KO mouse retina protein are extracted to carry out WesternBlot detection, and the result shows that PROM1-KO mouse retina does not express PROM1 protein.
3.3 knock-out efficiency is shown in FIG. 5.
In fig. 5 is shown: the sgRNA knockout rate designed by the invention is 82%, and the knockout rate of a control group is 0.
Most genetically modified mice are constructed to study the effects of gene expression deletions, additions or target gene sequence changes on body functions; biological processes (reporter strains) can also be monitored by designing genetically modified mice to label specific cell populations (reporter staining), and previous methods for making genetically modified animal models include: the method comprises the following steps: by constructing human WTPROM1cDNA and 1117C > T (R373C) mutant cDNA into pcdna3.1 (-) vector, by microinjection into mouse embryos, and finally implanting the embryos into the uterus of pregnant mother mice, and: the second method comprises the following steps: the pPNT targeting vector is constructed, a 7.7kb fragment of the murine PROM1 gene is contained, a second exon is replaced by neo and is introduced into an embryo, and the embryo is finally implanted into the uterus of a pregnant female mouse. The two methods have defects: defect one: the PROM1 of human origin is introduced, and the human PROM1 gene and the mouse PROM1 gene have certain difference, so that the pathological expression cannot be completely expressed. And: and defect two: integration of a non-mouse endogenous genomic neo fragment into the mouse genome can have unpredictable effects on the endogenous gene.
And CRISPR/Cas9 is a new generation of gene editing technology that has recently been developed. When the PROM1 gene knockout mouse model is constructed, various factors are considered, and finally, a simpler and more efficient CRISPR/Cas9 technology is selected. The CRISPR/Cas9 technology has high targeting efficiency, convenient design and simple steps, and has profound influence on the technical development in the field of biology.
The mouse animal model with the PROM1 gene knockout is established for the first time by adopting CRISPR/Cas9gene knockout technology. The optimal sgRNA1-2 is selected, and the sgRNA1-2 and the method designed by the invention have the advantages of high knockout efficiency and no exogenous gene interference.
The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and additions can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention.
