Abstract: A process for the production of humanized chimera antibody, wherein the chimera antibody is produced easily without changing any of the amino acids of its mouse antibody variable region, which comprises the steps of: (1) constructing a cassette vector by inserting a cDNA coding for a heavy chain constant region of human antibody into an expression vector for animal cell use and establishing a cloning site in the upstream region of the heavy chain constant region of said cassette vector for inserting a cDNA which encodes a heavy chain variable region of nonhuman animal antibody; (2) digesting a cDNA coding for the heavy chain variable region of nonhuman animal antibody with restriction enzymes; (3) inserting said cDNA coding for the heavy chain variable region of nonhuman animal antibody into the cassette vector, using a synthetic DNA which comprises a base sequence corresponding to the 5′-end side of said heavy chain constant region of human antibody and a base sequence corresponding to the 3′-end

Abstract: The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative disorders, comprising a xanthine derivative represented by formula (I): 1

Abstract: A humanized chimera antibody, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a humanized chimera antibody and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and a method of treating cancer which comprises administering to a patient a pharmaceutically acceptable amount of said humanized chimera antibody, are disclosed.

Abstract: Chimeric human antibody expression vectors are constructed by inserting the antibody heavy chain variable region-encoding cDNA and antibody light chain variable region-encoding cDNA isolated from hybridomas producing a mouse or rat monoclonal antibody reacting with the ganglioside GM2 respectively into an expression vector for use in animal cells which contains the human antibody heavy chain constant region- or human antibody light chain constant region-encoding cDNA. The expression vectors are introduced into animal cells and the transformant thus obtained is cultured for the production of a chimeric human antibody reacting with the ganglioside GM2.
