20120251552 | METHODS OF GENERATING IMPROVED ANTIGEN-BINDING AGENTS USING CHAIN SHUFFLING AND OPTIONALLY SOMATIC HYPERMUTATION - The invention relates to a method of identifying a desired antigen-binding agent that binds to an antigen of interest. The method utilizes a combinatorial approach wherein a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising a first component of an antigen-binding agent is provided to a population of cells together with a library of nucleic acid sequences, each of which encodes a polypeptide comprising a second component of an antigen-binding agent. The method further comprises subjecting one or more of the nucleic acid sequences encoding a first component, a second component, and/or an identified antigen-binding agent to somatic hypermutation. | 10-04-2012 |
20120028301 | SOMATIC HYPERMUTATION SYSTEMS - The present application relates to somatic hypermutation (SHM) systems and synthetic genes. Synthetic genes can be designed using computer-based approaches to increase or decrease susceptibility of a polynucleotide to somatic hypermutation. Genes of interest are inserted into the vectors and subjected to activation-induced cytidine deaminase to induce somatic hypermutation. Proteins or portions thereof encoded by the modified genes can be introduced into a SHM system for somatic hypermutation and proteins or portions thereof exhibiting a desired phenotype or function can be isolated for in vitro or in vivo diagnostic or therapeutic uses. | 02-02-2012 |
20110287485 | METHODS OF GENERATING LIBRARIES AND USES THEREOF - This invention relates to methods for the generation of humanized antibodies, particularly a humanized antibody heavy chain protein and a humanized antibody light chain protein. The method comprises using cells that express or can be induced to express Activation Induced Cytidine Deaminase (AID). | 11-24-2011 |
20110183855 | SOMATIC HYPERMUTATION SYSTEMS - The present application relates to somatic hypermutation (SHM) systems and synthetic genes. Synthetic genes can be designed using computer-based approaches to increase or decrease susceptibility of a polynucleotide to somatic hypermutation. Genes of interest are inserted into the vectors and subjected to activation-induced cytidine deaminase to induce somatic hypermutation. Proteins or portions thereof encoded by the modified genes can be introduced into a SHM system for somatic hypermutation and proteins or portions thereof exhibiting a desired phenotype or function can be isolated for in vitro or in vivo diagnostic or therapeutic uses. | 07-28-2011 |
20090093024 | Methods of generating libraries and uses thereof - This invention relates to methods for the generation of polynucleotide seed libraries and the use of these libraries in generating novel mutants of recombinant proteins and, more particularly, for generating focused libraries of recombinant human antibodies and screening for their affinity binding with target antigens. | 04-09-2009 |
20090075378 | Somatic hypermutation systems - The present application relates to somatic hypermutation (SHM) systems and synthetic genes.
