Inducible Mutagenesis Of Target Genes

View page
US Patent:
20100093033, Apr 15, 2010
Filed:
Jun 2, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/598031
Inventors:
Nancy Maizels - Seattle WA, US
W. Jason Cummings - Bellevue WA, US
Munehisa Yabuki - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
University of Washington - Seattle WA
International Classification:
C12P 21/00
C12N 5/0781
US Classification:
435 691, 4353722
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to mutagenesis of target genes that takes advantage of the natural mutagenic capabilities of B cells, and enhances those capabilities by bringing the process of diversification under control. The invention provides a method for rapidly and inducibly generating point mutations and other types of diversification in expressed genes, such as antibody genes. This method can be coupled with selection to identify B cell clones that produce, for example, antibodies of high affinity or specificity. The diversification process can be modulated, accelerated, halted, switched between methods of mutagenesis and the like. The modulation of diversification in accordance with the invention is both inducible and reversible. The invention provides a means of rapid and feasible development of a repertoire of variant immunoglobulins and other polypeptides.

US Patent:
20130261012, Oct 3, 2013
Filed:
Mar 13, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/802255
Inventors:

International Classification:
C12N 15/10
US Classification:
506 9, 4353201, 4352523, 435349, 506 14, 435455, 506 26
Abstract:
The disclosure relates generally to the targeting of genes to, and their integration into, an immunoglobulin (antibody) heavy chain locus. In particular, the methods described herein contemplate replacing the single rearranged heavy chain V, D, and J genes of a B cell lymphoma such as DT40 with independently rearranged V-D-Jgenes of chicken, in a system for generating immunoglobulin diversity. Also contemplated is replacement of the chicken V-D-Jwith rearranged V-D-Jgenes of other vertebrates including human in a system for generating immunoglobulin diversity, with the exception of any substitution disclosed and claimed in PCT application WO 2009/029315 A2. Also described is construction of a diverse chicken immunoglobulin heavy chain VDJ library in DT40 by homologous gene replacement of the single endogenous rearranged VDJ gene with a chicken VDJ repertoire using the described targeting vectors.
