Nucleic Acids Encoding Chimeric Cd154 Polypeptides

View page
US Patent:
7495090, Feb 24, 2009
Filed:
May 23, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/154759
Inventors:
Charles E. Prussak - San Diego CA, US
Thomas J. Kipps - Rancho Santa Fe CA, US
Mark J. Cantwell - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C12N 15/62
C12N 15/12
C12N 15/00
C12N 15/63
US Classification:
536 234, 536 231, 536 235, 4352523, 4353201, 435455
Abstract:
The present invention provides for an isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric CD154, comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding an extracellular subdomain of non-human CD154, preferably murine CD154, that replaces a cleavage site of human CD154, and a second nucleotide sequence encoding an extracellular subdomain of human CD154 that binds to a human CD154 receptor. The present invention also provides for the chimeric CD154 that is encoded by the above-described polynucleotide sequence, an expression vector and a genetic vector comprising the polynucleotide sequence, a host cell comprising the expression vector or the genetic vector, a process for producing the chimeric CD154, and methods for utilizing the expression vectors and genetic constructs containing the chimeric CD154 polynucleotide sequences.

US Patent:
7786282, Aug 31, 2010
Filed:
Dec 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/006305
Inventors:
Charles E. Prussak - San Diego CA, US
Thomas J. Kipps - Rancho Santa Fe CA, US
Mark J. Cantwell - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
The Regents of the University of California - Oakland CA
International Classification:
C12N 15/12
C12N 15/11
C12N 15/63
C12N 5/10
US Classification:
536 234, 536 231, 536 235, 435 691, 435455, 435325, 4352523, 4353201
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric TNFα and chimeric TNFα polypeptides. The former have a first nucleotide sequence encoding a domain or subdomain of a tumor necrosis factor ligand other than TNFα, wherein the encoded domain or subdomain lacks a cleavage site, and a second nucleotide sequence encoding a domain or subdomain of native TNFα that binds to a TNFα receptor. The encoded chimeric TNFα is significantly less susceptible to cleavage from the cellular surface and, as a result can increase the concentration of a ligand capable of binding to a TNFα receptor on the surface of a cell. The chimeric TNFα is therefore useful in methods for inducing apoptosis of a cell expressing a TNFα receptor, inducing activation of an immune system cell and treating neoplastic cells, by introducing into the cell of interest an isolated polynucleotide sequence encoding a chimeric TNFα that is expressed on the surface of the cell.
