Nuclease-mediated genome editing of primary cells

In certain aspects, the present invention provides methods for inducing a stable gene modification of a target nucleic acid via homologous recombination in a primary cell, such as a primary blood cell and/or a primary mesenchymal cell. In certain other aspects, the present invention provides methods for enriching a population of genetically modified primary cells having targeted integration at a target nucleic acid. The methods of the present invention rely on the introduction of a DNA nuclease such as a Cas polypeptide and a homologous donor adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector into the primary cell to mediate targeted integration of the target nucleic acid. Also provided herein are methods for preventing or treating a disease in a subject in need thereof by administering to the subject any of the genetically modified primary cells or pharmaceutical compositions described herein to prevent the disease or ameliorate one or more symptoms of the disease.

Compositions and methods for Editing Nucleic Acids in Cells Utilizing Oligonucleotides
20210395729 · 2021-12-23 ·

The present invention includes compositions and methods for the treatment of a medical condition or disease utilizing editing oligonucleotides. The editing oligonucleotides contain a an oligonucleotide strand of about 10 to about 50 nucleotides on each side of the editing moiety which may contain a sugar or linker that positions the active editing moiety in the proper location for hybridization to the target nucleic acid. The editing oligonucleotides may also contain at least one nucleotide sequence change from the targeted sequence in the genome. The method includes modifying a genomic sequence within a cell utilizing an editing oligonucleotide without additional proteins or nucleic acids to assist in the editing process. The editing oligonucleotide may comprise backbone modifications that increase the nuclease stability of the oligonucleotide as compared to unmodified oligonucleotides or oligonucleotides having three phosphorothioates on each terminus.
