    Abstract: The invention pertains to non-viral methods for in vivo delivery of endonuclease reagents compositions to specific tissues or cells. According to the invention, the endonuclease reagents are preferably encapsulated into micelle structures of 50 to 150 nm diameter for intravenous injection, in combination with antiviral compounds. The invention thereby provides therapeutic compositions comprising endonuclease reagents and antiviral compounds for effective elimination of HBV from liver cells and treatment of chronic hepatitis.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to chimeric antigen receptors (CAR). CARs are able to redirect immune cell specificity and reactivity toward a selected target exploiting the ligand-binding domain properties. In particular, the present invention relates to a Chimeric Antigen Receptor in which extracellular ligand binding is a scFV derived from a CD19 monoclonal antibody, preferably 4G7. The present invention also relates to polynucleotides, vectors encoding said CAR and isolated cells expressing said CAR at their surface. The present invention also relates to methods for engineering immune cells; expressing 4G7-CAR at their surface which confers a prolonged “activated” state on the transduced cell. The present invention is particularly useful for the treatment of B-cells lymphomas and leukemia.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to Transcription Activator-Like Effector (TALE) derived proteins that allow efficient targeting and/or processing of double stranded nucleic acid sequences. The proteins of the invention are typically chimeric protein monomers composed of a core scaffold comprising Repeat Variable Dipeptide regions (RVDs) having binding specificity to a DNA target sequence, to which is fused a catalytic domain to its N-terminus. This later catalytic domain, which can be a monomer of a nuclease, is placed at this position to possibly interact with another catalytic domain fused to another TAL monomer, such that, when the monomers are binding to their respective target DNA sequences, both catalytic domains form a catalytic entity likely to process DNA in the proximity of these target sequences. This new TAL architecture makes it possible to target only one DNA strand, which is not the case, for instance, with classical TALEN architectures. The present invention also relates to vectors encoding such proteins and compositions or kits in which Transcription Activator-Like Effector (TALE) proteins of the present invention are used.
