IMPROVED NUCLEIC ACIDS FOR REDUCING CARBOHYDRATE EPITOPES

The invention provides nucleic acids that encode a first glycosyltransferase that competes with a second enzyme for a substrate, thereby reducing the formation of a product of the second enzyme. The nucleic acids are useful in producing cells and organs with reduced antigenicity and which may be use...
