摘要:
The transgenic non-human animals are constructed, in whose genome the coding sequences of one of the animal's endogenous immunoglobulin Cγ constant regions are replaced by human immunoglobulin Cε constant region coding sequences. The transgenic animal is mouse, in whose genome the Cγ1 constant regions are replaced by the human immunoglobulin Cε constant regions and the Cκ constant region is replaced by the human immunoglobulin Cκ constant region. The transgenic mouse yields humanized IgE-secreting B cells and antigen-specific humanized IgE after immunization. The transgenic animals are employed to prepare serum containing humanized IgE, antiserum containing antigen-specific humanized IgE, and monoclonal antigen-specific humanized IgE antibodies by hybridoma and other technologies.

摘要:
Provided is a tag peptide in which a protease recognition sequence and an epitope of an antibody against the tag peptide are overlapped and thereby the protease recognition sequence per se is usable for detection or purification. Also provided is a purification method for recombinant proteins using the tag peptide and an antibody thereagainst. A preferable tag peptide comprises a Tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease recognition sequence as the protease recognition sequence, and its examples include a tag peptide comprising the amino acid sequence (1): RX1X2LYX3QGKDG (wherein X1, X2 and X3 may be the same or different and represent any amino acid residue).

This invention provides: a heteromyeloma, other than B6B11, capable of producing a trioma when fused with a human lymphoid cell, wherein the trioma is capable of producing a monoclonal antibody-secreting tetroma when fused with a second, antibody-secreting human lymphoid cell; a trioma fusion partner which does not produce antibody, obtained by fusing a heteromyeloma which does not produce antibody with a human lymphoid cell; a monoclonal antibody-secreting tetroma, obtained by fusing a trioma which does not produce antibody with an antibody-secreting human lymphoid cell; a method of producing a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes an antigen associated with a condition; a method of identifying an antigen associated with a condition using the trioma fusion partner; a method of diagnosing a condition using the trioma fusion partner; a method for preventing a condition; and compositions and therapeutic compositions comprising monoclonal antibodies produced using the trioma fusion partner.
摘要:
The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding cell surface receptors on immune cells and the characteristic peptides that comprise these receptors. More specifically, the present invention concerns the use of synthetic and recombinant peptides comprising natural killer (“NK”) cell surface receptors. The synthetic and recombinant peptides are used to generate monoclonal antibodies that bind a specific NK cell surface receptor called CS1. The binding of the monoclonal antibody to the NK cell surface receptor leads to NK cell activation. In a particular embodiments of the present invention, the monoclonal antibodies are utilized in a method that inhibits the growth of tumor cells.

Introducing a chromosome or chromosome fragment having a size of 25 to 500 Mb and containing a selectable marker into a female muntjac cell which has been immortalized with a nonviral vector, a chemical treatment, or a radiation treatment permits the easy purification of the chromosome or chromosome fragment.
摘要:
A stable xenogeneic fusion partner that is a product of the fusion of a mouse myeloma cell and a non-transformed rabbit partner cell. The fusion partner produces undetectable levels of antibody, as determined by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. A method for generating rabbit monoclonal antibodies is disclosed that comprises fusing a nontransformed rabbit partner cell with a rodent myeloma cell to produce a xenogeneic fusion partner, selecting a stable fusion partner producing undetectable levels of antibodies, fusing the stable fusion partner with a rabbit antibody producing cell and isolating an antibody producing cell line that produces antibodies directed to a predetermined antigen.
