摘要:
A reconstituted human antibody against human interleukin-8 (IL-8), comprising (A) L chains comprising: (1) the human L-chain C region, and (2) the L-chain V region containing the human L-chain FR and the L-chain CDR of a mouse monoclonal antibody against IL-8; and (B) H chains comprising: (1) the human H-chain C region, and (2) the H-chain V region containing the human H-chain FR and the H-chain CDR of a mouse monoclonal antibody against IL-8. As the major part of the reconstituted antibody derives from a human antibody and antigenicity of the CDR is low, this antibody has a low antigenicity against the human body, thus being expected to be applicable for medical therapy.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of producing a recombinant antibody efficiently and at low cost. Disclosed is a method of producing an antibody or a fragment thereof, comprising allowing a cell to produce the antibody or the fragment, wherein the cell contains a larger number of copies of an exogenous DNA encoding the light chain or a fragment thereof of the antibody than the number of copies contained in the cell of an exogenous DNA encoding the heavy chain or a fragment thereof of the antibody. The present invention also provides a recombinant vector comprising one copy of a DNA encoding the heavy chain or a fragment thereof of an antibody and two or more copies of a DNA encoding the light chain or a fragment thereof of the antibody; and a transformant.
摘要:
A method of producing an antibody which involves the step of administering an immunogen containing a target antigen and a background antigen to a transgenic animal having a gene encoding the background antigen transferred thereinto. Because of being immunotolerant to the background antigen, the transgenic animal effectively produces an antibody against the target antigen.
摘要:
As the results of intensive studies, it is found out that antibodies binding to PepT are capable of inhibiting the transportation activity of a peptide transporter. These antibodies are usable as cell proliferation inhibitors in, for example, treating and preventing cancer.
