A 21-bp deletion in the third exon of theAPRTgene in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was corrected by transfection with a plasmid containing hamsterAPRTsequences. Targeted correction frequencies in the range of 0.3–3.0×10−6were obtained with a vector containing 3.2 kb ofAPRTsequence homology. To examine the influence of vector configuration on targeted gene correction, a double-strand break was introduced at one of two positions in the vector prior to transfection by calcium phosphate-DNA coprecipitation or electroporation. A double-strand break in the region ofAPRThomology contained in the vector produced an insertion-type vector, while placement of the break just outside the region of homology produced a replacement-type vector. Gene targeting with both linear vector configurations yielded equivalent ratios of targeted recombinants to nontargeted vector integrants; however, targeting with the two different vector configurations resulted in different distributions of targeted recombination products. Analysis of 66 independent APRT+recombinant clones by Southern hybridization showed that targeting with the vector in a replacement-type configuration yielded fewer targeted integrants and more target gene convertants than did the integration vector configuration. Targeted recombination was about fivefold more efficient with electroporation than with calcium phosphate-DNA coprecipitation; however, both gene transfer methods produced similar distributions of targeted recombinants, which depended only on targeting vector configuration. Our results demonstrate that insertion-type and replacement-type gene targeting vectors produce similar overall targeting frequencies in gene correction experiments, but that vector configuration can significantly influence the yield of particular recombinant types.
