  • Patent number: 11820810
    Abstract: The invention relates to the provision of antibody therapeutics and prophylactics that are tailored specifically for human use. The present invention provides libraries, vertebrates and cells, such as transgenic mice or rats or transgenic mouse or rat cells. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods of using the vertebrates to isolate antibodies or nucleotide sequences encoding antibodies. Antibodies, heavy chains, polypeptides, nucleotide sequences, pharmaceutical compositions and uses are also provided by the invention.

  • Publication number: 20220000085
    Abstract: The invention provides improved non-human vertebrates and non-vertebrate cells capable of expressing antibodies comprising human variable region sequences. The present invention is directed to the provision of long HCDR3s from non-human vertebrates and cells. The present invention is also directed to the provision of novel V, D and J pairings in immunoglobulin heavy and light chain loci. Novel, biased antibody diversities and potentially expanded diversities are provided. The invention also provides for novel and potentially expanded diversity or diversity that is biased towards variable gene usage common to antibodies useful for treating and/or preventing certain diseases or conditions, such as infectious diseases. The invention also provides methods of generating antibodies using such vertebrates, as well as the antibodies per se, therapeutic compositions thereof and uses.

  • Publication number: 20180282761
    Abstract: The present invention relates inter alia to improvements in the production of chimaeric antibodies in non-human transgenic vertebrates such as mice and rats bearing one or more chimaeric antibody transgenes. In particular, the invention provides for improved non-human vertebrates and cells in which VpreB has been species-matched with the variable region of the chimaeric antibodies. Also, embodiments also provide for species-matching of the entire surrogate light chain for efficient pairing with chimaeric heavy chains during B-cell development in vivo in a non-human transgenic vertebrate setting.
