The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for cell transplantation therapy based on forced expression of an exogenous HLA-F protein in donor cells to be transplanted into a subject. In some embodiments, the donor cells express an exogenous chimeric HLA-F protein comprising an extracellular region comprising an HLA-F alpha 1 domain, an HLA alpha 2 domain, an HLA-F alpha 3 domain, a linker and a β2m protein.

HLA-F-modified cells and methods

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for enhanced expression of exogenous genes in eukaryotic cells. The method involves introducing into a mammalian cell an exogenous nucleic acid. wherein the exogenous nucleic acid intearates into a locus of the genome that comprises an extended methylation-free CpG island. Also provided are chromosomal loci, sequences for enhanced and stable expression of exogenous genes.
