Summary for Patent: 6,419,921
Title: DNA-constructs of blood clotting factors and P-Selectin
Abstract:A DNA construct is disclosed which encodes a fusion protein comprising an amino acid sequence of a blood clotting factor like Factor IX and an amino acid sequence of the cytoplasmic domain of P-Selectin. Such construct may be used for the somatic gene therapy of patients suffering from a defiency of a blood coagulation factor.
Inventor(s): Negrier; Claude (Irigny, FR), Plantier; Jean Luc (Lyons, FR)
Assignee: Aventis Behring GmbH (Marburg, DE)
Application Number:09/440,509
Patent Claims:1. A DNA construct encoding a fusion protein comprising an amino acid sequence of a blood clotting factor and an amino acid sequence of the cytoplasmic domain of P-Selectin.

2. The DNA construct as claimed in claim 1 comprising an amino acid sequence of the blood clotting factor IX.

3. The DNA construct as claimed in claim 2 wherein the 3'-end of the Factor IX-DNA is fused to the 5' end of the nucleic acid sequence encoding the cytoplasmic domain of intracellular P-selectin.

4. The DNA construct as claimed in claim 2 wherein between the sequence of the Factor IX-DNA and the sequence of the P-Selectin-DNA the two amino acids Thr-Arg are inserted.

5. The DNA construct as claimed in claim 2 further comprising insertion of the first intron (Intron 1) of the human Factor IX gene.

6. The DNA construct as claimed in claim 5 wherein the first intron has been truncated at both Sca 1 sites prior to insertion.

7. A fusion protein expressed by the DNA construct of claim 1.

8. A mammalian cell comprising the DNA construct of claim 1, wherein the DNA construct is expressed.

9. The mammalian cell wherein the DNA construct of claim 1 encodes Factor IX.
