Abstract:
The disclosure is in the field of genome engineering, particularly targeted modification of the genome using a nucleotide-modified mRN (nec-mRNA). Specifically, the methods and compositions relate to introducing nuclease-encoding nucleotide (chemically)-modified messenger RNA (nec-mRNA) into cells for genomic editing of a target cell, such as a nuclease that targets a gene encoding surfactant B protein (SB-P).
Abstract:
Nucleases and methods of using these nucleases for genetic alteration of red blood cells (RBCs), for example for providing for a protein lacking in a monogenic disorder or a biologic for the treatment of exposure to a toxin using genetically altered RBCs.
Abstract:
Nucleases and methods of using these nucleases for modification of an HPRT locus and for increasing the frequency of gene modification at a targeted locus and clones and for generating animals.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is in the field of genome engineering, particularly targeted modification of the genome of a hematopoietic stem cell. Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for altering the expression or for correcting one or more genes encoding proteins involved in a genetic disease (e.g., producing proteins lacking, deficient or aberrant in the disease and/or proteins that regulate these proteins) such as sickle cell disease. The present invention describes compositions and methods for use in gene therapy and genome engineering.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is in the field of genome engineering, particularly targeted modification of the genome of a hematopoietic stem cell. The present invention describes compositions and methods for use in gene therapy and genome engineering, particularly of hematopoietic cells, including HSCs. The present inventors have determined that certain culture conditions can impact the efficiency and the nature of gene modification after a double strand break (independent of the nuclease used), particularly in LT-HSCs.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for inactivating a FUT8 gene, using fusion proteins comprising a zinc finger protein and a cleavage domain or cleavage half-domain. Polynucleotides encoding said fusion proteins are also provided, as are cells comprising said polynucleotides and fusion proteins.
