Abstract
Provided are methods and compositions for obtaining genome-engineered iPSCs, and derivative cells with stable and functional genome editing at selected sites. Also provided are cell populations or clonal cell lines derived from genome-engineered iPSCs, which comprise targeted integration of one or more exogenous polynucleotides, and/or in/dels in one or more selected endogenous genes.
Claims18
An induced pluripotent cell (iPSC) derived cell or a population thereof, wherein (i) the iPSC-derived cell is a hematopoietic lineage cell differentiated from an iPSC;
- (ii) the iPSC-derived cell comprises a polynucleotide encoding at least one chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) introduced into a constant region of a T cell receptor (TCR) locus, wherein the at least one CAR is expressed in the iPSC-derived cell;
- (iii) an endogenous TCR gene of the iPSC-derived cell is knocked out;
- (iv) the iPSC-derived cell comprises introduced or increased expression of CD16;
- and (v) the iPSC-derived cell further comprises:
- (a) a deletion or reduced expression of at least one of B2M and/or CIITA genes;
- or
- (b) introduced or increased expression of CD3.
