Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF POLYPEPTIDE BY REGULATION OF ASSEMBLY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/106905
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is found that the assembly of polypeptides can be inhibited by altering an amino acid residue that forms the interface between the polypeptides in the assembly into another amino acid residue having the same charge as that of the amino acid residue. Thus, it becomes possible to form a hetero molecule with good efficiency. The present process can be suitably used, for example, in the production of a bispecific antibody.
