  • Publication number: 20200399393
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides dimeric antigen receptors (DAR) constructs comprising a heavy chain binding region on one polypeptide chain and a light chain binding region on a separate polypeptide chain. The two polypeptide chains that make up the dimeric antigen receptors can dimerize to form an antigen binding domain. The dimeric antigen receptors have antibody-like properties as they bind specifically to a target antigen. The dimeric antigen receptors can be used for directed cell therapy.

  • Publication number: 20040214222
    Abstract: Methods and vectors are provided for the specific alteration of particular genetic loci in eukaryotic cells. One method includes the utilization of positive-positive selection (PPS) DNA vectors for the purpose of creating and identifying cells which have vector sequences integrated into host cell genome via site-specific homologous recombination. The method also comprises the utilization of sequences encoding in vivo detectable markers for the identification of cells which have exogenous vector sequences integrated into the genome of the host cell, either via site-specific homologous recombination or nonhomologous recombination or insertion. The invention also includes vectors for creating modifications in eukaryotic cells.
