Abstract

Non-human animals and offspring thereof comprising at least one modified chromosomal sequence in a gene encoding a CD163 protein are provided. Animal cells that contain such modified chromosomal sequences are also provided. The animals and cells have increased resistance to pathogens, including porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The animals and offspring have chromosomal modifications of a CD163 gene. The invention further relates to methods of breeding to create pathogen-resistant animals and populations of animals made using such methods.

Claims (46)

1. A porcine animal or offspring thereof comprising a deletion in a gene encoding a CD163 protein, wherein the deletion comprises:

(a) an in-frame deletion in exon 7 of the gene encoding the CD163 protein selected from the group consisting of:

a 123 base pair deletion from nucleotide 3,024 to nucleotide 3,146 as compared to reference sequence SEQ ID NO: 47; and

a 132 base pair deletion from nucleotide 3,030 to nucleotide 3,161 as compared to reference sequence SEQ ID NO: 47;

(b) a deletion of exons 7 and 8 of the gene encoding the CD163 protein selected from the group consisting of:

a 1373 base pair deletion from nucleotide 2,724 to nucleotide 4,096 as compared to reference sequence SEQ ID NO: 47; and

and

a 28 base pair deletion from nucleotide 3,145 to nucleotide 3,172 as compared to reference sequence SEQ ID NO: 47.

2. The porcine animal or offspring of claim 1 , wherein the deletion reduces the susceptibility of the animal or offspring to infection by a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus, as compared to the susceptibility of a porcine animal or offspring that does not comprise a modification in a gene encoding a CD163 protein to infection by the PRRS virus.

3. The porcine animal or offspring of claim 2 , wherein the deletion reduces the susceptibility of the animal or offspring to a Type 1 PRRS virus, a Type 2 PRRS virus, or to both Type 1 and Type 2 PRRS viruses.
