Title:
FRAMEWORK-SHUFFLING OF ANTIBODIES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2013013425
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To produce a rapid and simple combinatorial library of antibodies (with or without constant regions) that can be easily screened for their immunospecificity for an antigen of interest, as well as their immunogenicity in an organism of interest.

The present invention relates to methods of reengineering or reshaping antibodies to reduce the immunogenicity of the antibodies, while maintaining the immunospecificity of the antibodies for an antigen. In particular, the present invention provides methods of producing antibodies immunospecific for an antigen by synthesizing a combinatorial library comprising complementarity determining regions (CDRs) from a donor antibody fused in frame to framework regions from a sub-bank of framework regions.
