摘要:
An altered antibody chain is produced in which the CDR's of the variable domain of the chain are derived from a first mammalian species. The framework-encoding regions of DNA encoding the variable domain of the first species are mutated so that the mutated framework-encoding regions encode a framework derived from a second different mammalian species. The or each constant domain of the antibody chain, if present, are also derived from the second mammalian species. An antibody which is capable of binding to human CD4 antigen is also provided together with a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody.

The invention relates to a CHO cell-line capable of producing antibody, the cell-line having been co-transfected with a vector capable of expressing the light chain of the antibody and a vector capable of expressing the heavy chain of the antibody wherein the vectors contain independently selectable markers; also included is a CHO cell-line capable of producing a human antibody or an altered antibody, the cell-line having been transfected with a vector capable of expressing the light chain of the antibody and the heavy chain of the antibody; process for the production of antibody using a CHO cell-line and antibody having CHO glycosylation.
摘要:
A method of facilitating the clearance of retained pulmonary secretions in a subject using lantibiotics is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the lungs of the subject an effective amount of a lantibiotic. The lantibiotic is preferably administered by topically applying it to the respiratory epithelia, such as by generating an aerosol thereof which is then inhaled by the subject. A preferred lantibiotic for carrying out the present invention is duramycin. The method may be used in treating disorders such as cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and asthma. Also disclosed is a method of combatting tuberculosis comprising administering a lantibiotic to a subject in need of such treatment.
