  • Publication number: 20260022395
    Abstract: Human immunoglobulin light chain transgene constructs are provided that encode at least two different rearranged light chain V-J regions arranged in such a manner that only one of the alternate light chains is expressed from the construct upon recombination in B cells. In some embodiments, the transgene comprises two, three or four different rearranged light chain V-J regions. Transgenic animals comprising the transgene are also provided. The light chain transgenes thus allow for expression of two, three or four alternate fixed light chains in the animals. Methods of using the transgenic animals are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240263190
    Abstract: Human immunoglobulin light chain transgene constructs are provided that encode two different rearranged light chain V-J regions arranged in such a manner that one of the two alternate light chains is expressed from the construct upon recombination in B cells. Transgenic animals comprising the transgene are also provided. The binary light chain transgene thus allows for expression of two alternate fixed light chains in the animals. Methods of using the transgenic animals are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20240260553
    Abstract: Chimeric transgenic immunoglobulin (Ig) mice are provided that comprise an altered heavy chain locus in which endogenous mouse D and J segments have been deleted and a human heavy chain Ig transgene is inserted at that location such that the transgenic Ig mouse expresses an antibody repertoire that utilizes human VH and mouse VH in heavy chains, each linked to human DH and JH segments, leading to enhanced diversity. Methods of preparing and using the transgenic animals (e.g., to raise antibodies) are also provided.
