  • Publication number: 20190284299
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for production of stable and highly specific heterodimeric immunoglobulin constructs, e.g., bispecific antibodies, retaining desirable properties of native IgG and lacking undesirable heavy chain-light chain mispairing, that can simultaneously bind two target molecules and are more potent in the treatment of complex diseases.

  • Publication number: 20190284303
    Abstract: A hybridoma cell line of secreting cyproheptadine monoclonal antibodies with a preservation number of CGMCC No. 14699 belongs to the field of food safety immunological detection. BALB/c mice are immunized through one time immunization with complete freund's adjuvant, three times of booster immunization with incomplete freund's adjuvant and one time of rush immunization with cyproheptadine complete antigen without adjuvant; the spleen cells from BALB/C mice immunized with high potency and low value of IC50 are fused with murine myeloma cells; and then the hybridoma cell line is obtained through indirect competitive ELISA screening and three sub-clones. The monoclonal antibody secreted by this cell line has good specificity and detection sensitivity to cyproheptadine (value of IC50 is 0.37 ng/ml), being suitable for detection of cyproheptadine in food.
