    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of developing genetically engineered, preferably non-alloreactive T-cells for immunotherapy. This method involves the use of RNA-guided endonucleases, in particular Cas9/CRISPR system, to specifically target a selection of key genes in T-cells. The engineered T-cells are also intended to express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) to redirect their immune activity towards malignant or infected cells. The invention opens the way to standard and affordable adoptive immunotherapy strategies using T-Cells for treating cancer and viral infections.

    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of genome engineering (gene editing), and more specifically to gene therapy for the treatment of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) related to RAG1. Particularly, the present invention pertains to the treatment of RAG1 deficiency in long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). The present invention provides means and methods for genetically modifying HSCs involving gene editing reagents, such as TALE-nucleases, that specifically target a non-functional endogenous RAG1 gene, comprising at least one mutation causing Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), thereby allowing the restoration of the normal cellular phenotype. The present invention also provides engineered RAG1-edited HSCs comprising an exogenous sequence comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a functional RAG1 protein which is integrated in said HSCs' genome into a non-functional RAG1 endogenous locus, resulting in the expression of a functional RAG1 polypeptide. The present invention further provides populations of cells comprising said engineered HSCs, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said engineered HSCs or populations of cells, as well as their use in gene therapy for the treatment of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) related to RAG1.
