摘要
The present invention relates to humanisation of antibodies in vivo. The invention provides non- human vertebrates, cells, populations and methods useful for humanising chimaeric antibodies in vivo. Using the present invention it is possible straightforwardly and rapidly to obtain antigen- specific antibodies that are fully human (ie, comprising human variable and constant regions) and have undergone recombination, junctional diversification, affinity maturation and isotype switching in vivo in a non-human vertebrate system. Furthermore, such antibodies are humanised (eg, totally human) – and selected – totally in vivo, and as such the present invention harnesses in vivo filtering for expressibility, affinity and biophysical characteristics in the context of the desired human variable and constant region pairings. This is avoids problems of down-grading antibody characteristics when humanising the constant region of chimaeric antibodies in vitro.展开▼
