Abstract: The invention pertains to the field of adaptive cell immunotherapy. It provides with the genetic insertion of exogenous coding sequence(s) that help the immune cells to direct their immune response against infected or malignant cells. These exogenous coding sequences are more particularly inserted under the transcriptional control of endogenous gene promoters that are sensitive to immune cells activation. Such method allows the production of safer immune primary cells of higher therapeutic potential.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods to genetically modify cells by insertion of an artificial exon (ArtEx) for delivery of therapeutic proteins in specific cell types and more particularly engineered cells for expression of a transgene into the brain of a patient.

Abstract: The invention relates to the fields of immunotherapy, molecular biology and recombinant nucleic acid technology. In particular, the invention relates to a TALEN-modified human primary cell comprising in its genome, a modified human T cell receptor alpha gene with an insertion comprising at least, from 5? to 3?, a polynucleotide encoding a self-cleaving peptide, a chimeric antigen receptor, wherein the cell has undetectable cell-surface expression of the endogenous alpha beta T cell receptor as compared to a TCR positive control cell and expresses a receptor to target a pathological cell, use of said cell for treating a disease, including cancer. The invention further relates to methods for producing such a TALEN-modified cell, and to means for detecting such an engineered human primary cell or other genetically modified human primary cell obtained using alternative and/or additional rare cutting endonucleases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of genome engineering (gene editing). More specifically the invention provides with allele specific TALE-nucleases and methods to operate allele specific gene repair by homologous recombination in primary cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells, blood cells and hepatocytes. These reagents and methods can be used for the genetic treatment of inherited disease, such as sickle cell disease betathalassemia.

Abstract: The invention pertains to the field of adaptive cell immunotherapy. It provides with the genetic insertion of exogenous coding sequence(s) into genetically engineered immune cells to prevent cytokine release syndrome to arise during the course of cell therapy. These exogenous coding sequences are more particularly soluble human polypeptides placed under the transcriptional control of endogenous gene promoters that are sensitive to immune cells activation. Such method allows the production of safer immune primary cells of higher therapeutic potential.
