  • Publication number: 20110004949
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the generation of single chain immunoglobulins in a mammal. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for the generation of single chain camelid VHH antibodies in a mammal which undergo the process of class-switching and affinity maturation found within antibody producing B cells. Single chain antibodies generated using the method of the present invention and the uses thereof are also described.

  • Patent number: 7709696
    Abstract: A method of inducing transposition in a transgenic embryo, sperm and egg is described, comprising the steps of (a) generating a first adult transgenic organism comprising within its genome one or more copies of a transposon; (b) generating a second adult transgenic organism comprising within its genome one or more copies of a gene encoding a transposase cognate for the transposon and/or a sequence capable of regulating expression of the gene encoding the transposase; (c) crossing the first adult transgenic organism with the second transgenic adult organism to provide a progeny which comprises, in the genome of one or more of its cells, both (i) one or more copies of the transposon and (ii) a gene encoding a transposase cognate for the transposon, wherein the gene encoding the transposase is under the control of one or more inducible regulatory sequences which permit expression of the transposase, and (d) expressing the gene encoding the transposase in the embryo, sperm or egg to cause mobilization of the tran

  • Publication number: 20040092018
    Abstract: The inventon provides a method for producing a library of genetic mutations in a cell population by insertional mutagenesis, wherein a viral vector comprising a transposon is used to deliver said transposon to said cell population, which cell population stably expresses the cognate transposase for said transposon, and the transposon is mobilised to give a rise to the genetic mutations.
