Generation and characterization of SOX17-specific EGFP expressing human induced pluripotent stem cell line, KSCBi017-A-4, using CRISPR/Cas9

Summary

We generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) reporter line in which EGFP was inserted in-frame at the C-terminus of the endogenous SOX17 locus using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homologous recombination. The targeted clone, KSCBi017-A-4, was isolated by puromycin selection and validated by PCR and Sanger sequencing. This SOX17-EGFP hiPSC line retains a normal karyotype and pluripotency and displays specific EGFP expression upon directed definitive endoderm differentiation. This reporter line provides a reliable tool for monitoring SOX17 expression during human endoderm specification. Copyright © 2026 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
