A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11946054B2) discloses a method for integrating heterologous genes into the genome of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The method involves delivering a non-naturally occurring polynucleotide containing an AttP or AttB recombination sequence along with the heterologous gene(s), and a polynucleotide encoding a serine recombinase such as SF370, SPßc2, Bxb1, A118, or fRv1. The delivery of these polynucleotides can be achieved through various methods like transfection, transformation, nucleofection, or transduction, using techniques like calcium phosphate precipitation, lipofection, particle bombardment, or microinjection.

Furthermore, the patent claims encompass the inclusion of cytokines, cell tags, and fusion proteins in the non-naturally occurring polynucleotide, along with chimeric antigen receptors capable of binding to specific targets like CD19, EGFRvIII, CD33, ROR1, and MUC-16. The chimeric antigen receptors described in the claims have specific amino acid sequences with high identity to certain SEQ ID NOs, allowing for precise targeting and integration into PBMCs. This method opens up possibilities for genetic modifications in immune cells, particularly T cells and NK cells, for potential therapeutic applications in areas like cancer immunotherapy and targeted antigen recognition.
