Abstract: Disclosed are methods for obtaining cells that express antibodies that bind transmembrane proteins, methods for generating antibodies from such cells, antibodies to transmembrane proteins and fragments thereof, and nucleic acids encoding the antibodies. More particularly, the disclosure relates to methods for obtaining antibody-producing cells that express an antibody that binds to a transmembrane protein based on the use of lipid bilayer-membrane scaffold protein complexes to present transmembrane protein antigens to cells.

Abstract: A weight system for a cue stick includes a housing and a set of weighted elements enclosed within the housing. The housing is enclosed within a cavity of the cue stick, the housing having a first end and a second end. The weighted elements are sized to enable the set of weighted elements to move between the first and second ends of the housing during movement of the cue stick.
