Summary for Patent: 5,683,905
Title: Vectors and cell lines capable of correctly splicing exon regions
Abstract:A recombinant DNA vector is provided that expresses exons of genomic DNA fragments that are inserted into the vector. The vector contains a promoter and a genomic DNA fragment so characterized and configured that the vector, upon transcription in a transfected eukaryotic cell culture, expresses the corresponding RNA segment of the genomic DNA fragment free of any intron.

Assignee: Genentech, Inc. (South San Francisco, CA)
Application Number:08/448,171
Patent Claims:1. A recombinant DNA vector which expresses exons of genomic DNA fragments inserted into the vector, which vector comprises: (1) a promoter operably linked to a splice donor site followed by a splice acceptor site and (2) a genomic DNA fragment inserted between said splice donor and splice acceptor sites, wherein the genomic DNA fragment comprises a splice acceptor site followed by a splice donor site, and wherein said vector, upon transcription in a transfected eukaryotic cell culture, expresses the corresponding RNA segment of said genomic DNA fragment free of any intron.

2. The vector of claim 1 wherein the genomic DNA fragment codes for a polypeptide of interest.

3. The vector of claim 2 wherein the polypeptide is human factor VIII.

4. A eukaryotic cell culture transfected with a vector according to claim 1.

5. pESVDA.

6. A eukaryotic cell culture transfected with a vector according to claim 5 .
