15. A method for inactivating an endogenous dhfr gene in a cell, the method comprising:
-
(a) introducing, into a cell, a first nucleic acid encoding a first polypeptide, wherein the first polypeptide comprises; (i) a zinc finger DNA-binding domain that is engineered to bind to a first target site in an endogenous dhfr gene; and (ii) a cleavage domain; such that the polypeptide is expressed in the cell, whereby the polypeptide binds to the target site and cleaves the dhfr. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A dhfr-deficient cell line produced by:
-
inactivating endogenous dhfr genes in a population of cells by introducing, into the cells, a first nucleic acid encoding a first polypeptide, wherein the first polypeptide comprises; (i) a zinc finger DNA-binding domain that is engineered to bind to a first target site in an endogenous dhfr gene; and (ii) a cleavage domain; such that the polypeptide is expressed in the cell, whereby the polypeptide binds to the target site and cleaves the dhfr; and culturing the cells such that a dhfr-deficient cell line is produced. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
