摘要:
Method of activating expression of and amplifying an endogenous gene in genomic DNA of a vertebrate cell which is not expressed in the cell as obtained or is not expressed at significant levels in the cell as obtained, comprising the steps of: (a) transfecting cells with DNA sequences comprising: 1) exogenous DNA sequences which repair, alter, delete or replace a sequence present in the cell or which are regulatory sequences not normally functionally linked to the endogenous gene in the cell as obtained; 2) DNA sequences homologous with genomic DNA sequences at a preselected site in the cells; and 3) amplifiable DNA encoding a selectable marker; (b) maintaining the cells under conditions appropriate for homologous recombination to occur between DNA sequences homologous with genomic DNA sequences and genomic DNA sequences; (c) culturing the homologously recombinant cells produced in (b) under conditions which select from amplification of the amplifiable DNA encoding a selectable marker, whereby the amplifiable DNA encoding a selectable marker and the endogenous gene functionally linked to exogenous DNA of (a) 1) are coamplified.

摘要:
The invention relates to novel human DNA sequences, targeting constructs, and methods for producing novel genes encoding thrombopoietin, DNase I, and β-interferon by homologous recombination. The targeting constructs comprise at least: (a) a targeting sequence; (b) a regulatory sequence; (c) an exon; and (d) a splice-donor site. The targeting constructs, which can undergo homologous recombination with endogenous cellular sequences to generate a novel gene, are introduced into cells to produce homologously recombinant cells. The homologously recombinant cells are then maintained under conditions which will permit transcription of the novel gene and translation of the mRNA produced, resulting in production of either thrombopoietin, DNase I, or β-interferon. The invention further relates to methods of producing pharmaceutically useful preparations containing thrombopoietin, DNase I, or β-interferon from homologously recombinant cells and methods of gene therapy comprising administering homologously recombinant cells producing thrombopoietin, DNase I, or β-interferon to a patient for therapeutic purposes.
摘要:
