A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884930B2) discloses a method for selecting isolated human cells with a transgene integrated into an endogenous glucocorticoid receptor (GR) gene. The method involves introducing specific polynucleotides encoding zinc finger nucleases (ZFN) and a transgene flanked by homology arms targeting the human GR gene into the cells. The integration of the transgene into the GR gene is facilitated by the action of the ZFN, which have a zinc finger DNA-binding domain with specific recognition helices.
Furthermore, the patent claims specify that the corticosteroid used in the method is synthetic, with dexamethasone being a specific example. The introduction of the necessary components into the isolated human cells can be achieved through the use of a viral vector, with options including replication-defective adenovirus, hybrid adenovirus, or non-integrating lentivirus. The detailed description of the method and the specific components involved provide a novel approach to selecting human cells with integrated transgenes, particularly within the context of the glucocorticoid receptor gene.
