  • Publication number: 20220169741
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of modifying the isoelectric point of an antibody. The method includes providing an antibody comprising a first polypeptide comprising a heavy chain variable region and a second polypeptide comprising heavy chain variable region and substituting, in at least one of the first and second polypeptides of the antibody, one or more amino acid residues of the heavy chain variable region (VH) at positions 7, 9, 11, 14, 41, 70, 74, 82a, 84, and 113, according to the Kabat numbering system, wherein the substituting increases or decreases the isoelectric point of the antibody.

  • Patent number: 8361474
    Abstract: Antibody expression vectors and plasmids can incorporate various antibody gene portions for transcription of the antibody DNA and expression of the antibody in an appropriate host cell. The expression vectors and plasmids have restriction enzyme sites that facilitate ligation of antibody-encoding DNA into the vectors. The vectors incorporate enhancer and promoter sequences that can be varied to interact with transcription factors in the host cell and thereby control transcription of the antibody-encoding DNA. A kit can incorporate these vectors and plasmids.
