    Abstract: A non-human animal (e.g., a rodent) model for diseases associated with a C9ORF72 heterologous hexanucleotide repeat expansion sequence is provided, which non-human animal comprises a heterologous hexanucleotide repeat (GGGGCC) in an endogenous C9ORF72 locus. A non-human animal disclosed herein comprising a heterologous hexanucleotide repeat expansion sequence comprising at least one instance, e.g., repeat, of a hexanucleotide (GGGGCC) sequence may further exhibit a characteristic and/or phenotype associated with one or more neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and/or frontotemporal dementia (FTD), etc.). Methods of identifying therapeutic candidates that may be used to prevent, delay or treat one or more neurodegenerative (e.g., amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)) are also provided.

    Abstract: Non-human animals (and/or non-human cells) and methods of using the same are provided, which non-human animals (and/or non-human cells) have a genome comprising human antibody-encoding sequences (i.e., immunoglobulin genes). Non-human animals described herein express antibodies that contain immunoglobulin (Ig) light chains characterized by the presence of human Vλ domains. Non-human animals provided herein are, in some embodiments, characterized by expression of antibodies that contain human Vλ light chains that are encoded by human Igλ light chain-encoding sequences inserted into an endogenous Igκ light chain locus of said non-human animals. Methods for producing antibodies from non-human animals are also provided, which antibodies contain human variable regions and mouse constant regions.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other things, genetically modified non-human animals whose germline genome comprises an engineered endogenous immunoglobulin κ light chain locus comprising a single rearranged human immunoglobulin λ light chain variable region operably linked to a non-human Cλ gene segment, where the single rearranged human immunoglobulin λ light chain variable region comprises a human Vλ gene segment and a human Jλ gene segment. All immunoglobulin λ light chains expressed by B cells of the genetically modified non-human animal include human immunoglobulin λ light chain variable domains expressed from the single rearranged human immunoglobulin λ light chain variable region or a somatically hypermutated version thereof. Such animals, tissues from such animals, and cells from such animals represent an effective platform for producing antibodies, e.g., bispecific antibodies.
