Abstract: The present invention comprises non-human vertebrate cells and non-human mammals having a genome comprising an introduced partially human immunoglobulin region, said introduced region comprising human VH coding sequences and non-coding VH sequences based on the endogenous genome of the non-human mammal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to transgenic mammals that express canine-based immunoglobulins, including transgenic rodents that express canine-based immunoglobulins for the development of canine therapeutic antibodies.

Abstract: Described herein are transgenic mammals that express immunoglobulins with equine variable domains, including transgenic rodents that express immunoglobulins with equine variable domains for the development of therapeutic equine antibodies.

Abstract: The invention relates to a long DH (LDH) cassette comprising a recombinant DH construct comprising at least two DH gene segments encoding at least 10 amino acids of the HCDR3 amino acid sequence, wherein at least one of the DH gene segments is a heterologous DH gene segment; an immunoglobulin heavy chain locus and a transgenic non-human animal comprising the same; and their use in producing an immunoglobulin library with long HCDR3 regions.

Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for enhanced production of immunoglobulin diversity. Specifically, the invention provides compositions and methods for making accessible a B cell receptor repertoire that has not been culled by developmental tolerance mechanisms. The invention also provides transgenic animals, cells, and antibodies resulting from these compositions and methods.

Abstract: A method of producing a mouse in which B cells express a diverse repertoire of heavy chain-only antibodies (HCAb), by incorporating within the endogenous immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region locus, a transgenic C? gene segment upstream of the endogenous C? gene segment, wherein the C? gene segment comprises a deletion of a nucleotide sequence encoding at least part of the CH1 domain.

Abstract: The present invention provides cells, transgenic animals, including transgenic mammals and particularly rodents comprising engineered immunoglobulin (Ig) alleles. Such engineered alleles, wherein an Ig light chain CL exon [C? or C? (C?1, C?2 or C?3)] is incorporated into the Ig heavy chain locus, are capable of producing heavy chain-only antibodies as a single chain VH antibody (scVHAb) or heavy chain antibody (HCAb) comprising two extended scVHAbs. The scVHAb comprises an antigen-binding part consisting of a VH domain and the immunoglobulin constant domains CL, which is either C? or C?, and CH1, in the order from N-terminus to C-terminus: VH-L1-CL-L2-CH1, wherein L1 and L2 are each, independently, peptidic linkers; and wherein CL is paired with CH1 through beta-sheet contact thereby obtaining a CL/CH1 dimer.

Abstract: Transgenic mammals that express bovine-based immunoglobulins are described herein, including transgenic rodents that express bovine-based immunoglobulins for the development of bovine therapeutic antibodies.
