Abstract: A triple expression vector is disclosed for expressing an antibody molecule comprising an Fc domain in prokaryotic cells and in eukaryotic cells. The triple expression vector comprises a polynucleotide encoding an Fc domain; a polynucleotide encoding a phage coat protein; a cloning site for cloning genes encoding an antibody molecule or a part thereof wherein the antibody molecule or part thereof does not comprise an Fc domain; a prokaryotic secretion signal sequence and a eukaryotic secretion signal sequence, or a secretion signal sequence that drives efficient secretion in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells; a promoter for mediating expression in eukaryotic cells; and a stop codon for preventing expression of the phage coat protein in eukaryotic cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to particular polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides; to methods for preparing such polypeptides; to host cells expressing or capable of expressing such polypeptides; to compositions and in particular to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise such polypeptides, for prophylactic, therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. In particular, the present invention provides immunoglobulin single variable domains inhibiting CXCR7 mediated tumour growth.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating immunoglobulin sequences against cell-associated antigens, more particularly, antigens that are membrane-anchored. The invention also provides immunoglobulin sequences obtainable by the method of the invention. Specifically, the present invention relates to the generation of immunoglobulin sequences by use of DNA vaccination. More specifically, the present invention relates to generation of immunoglobulin sequences in camelids, preferably directed against cell-associated antigens, in particular antigens with multiple transmembrane spanning domains, including GPCRs and ion channels, by DNA vaccination. Furthermore, the present invention relates to said immunoglobulin sequences against cell-associated antigens, more particularly, antigens that are membrane-anchored, such as e.g. GPCRs and ion channels, more preferably ion channels.
