Protocol for genome-scale in vivo CRISPR screening to study protection of beta cells under autoimmunity in a type 1 diabetes mouse model [published online ahead of print, 2023 Mar 13]. STAR Protoc. 2023;4(2):102155. doi:10.1016/j.xpro.2023.102155https://hdl.handle.net/1805/36868Autoimmunity-induced pancreatic beta cell failure is the main characteristic of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Here, we describe a protocol for genome-scale in vivo CRISPR-Cas9 screening for use in a mouse model of T1D. Using a non-obese-diabetic-derived mouse beta cell line, NIT-1, and a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout library (GeCKO-v2), we describe how to identify genes that confer resistance to autoimmune killing. This protocol can be applied in other mouse models of autoimmunity. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Cai et al.
