TALEN gene editing used to restore normal CD154 expression and function in X-HIGM human T cells

By /

Using TALEN(Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases) technology, these researchers from Seattle Children’s Research succeeded in restoring copies of CD154( CD40L) gene with 3’ UTR under control of its endogenous promoter in human T cells from a patient with X-Linked Hyper-IgM Syndrome (X-HIGM).
