Building on a New Approach to Validate Gene Editing and Localize CAR Cassettes in T Cells

Safety and efficacy are key considerations in engineered cell therapies. However, conventional PCR screening for editing outcomes can overlook unintended cassette insertions. Here, Dr. Peter Mouritzen discusses an Xdrop workflow that is proven to overcome this limitation to identify the precise localization of the CAR insertion. The workflow also has applications in validating gene editing.
