Dominant negative alleles of human mismatch repair genes can be used to generate hypermutable cells and organisms. By introducing these genes into cells and transgenic animals, new cell lines and animal varieties with novel and useful properties can be prepared more efficiently than by relying on the natural rate of mutation. These methods are useful for generating genetic diversity within immunoglobulins genes directed against an antigen of interest to produce altered antibodies with enhanced biochemical activity. Moreover, these methods are useful for generating antibody-producing cells with increased level of antibody production. The invention also provides methods for increasing the affinity of monoclonal antibodies and monoclonal antibodies with increased affinity.

On peut utiliser des allèles dominantes négatives de gènes humains de réparation des désappariements pour produire des cellules et organismes hypermutables. En introduisant ces gènes dans des animaux transgéniques, on peut préparer de nouvelles lignées de cellules et de nouvelles variétés d'animaux plus efficacement qu'en se basant sur le taux naturel de mutation. Ces méthodes, qui s'avèrent utiles pour créer une diversité génétique parmi des gènes d'immunoglobine dirigés contre des antigènes d'intérêt pour produire des anticorps modifiés à activité biochimique accrue, le sont de plus pour créer des cellules produisant à fort débit des d'anticorps. L'invention porte également sur des méthodes accroissant l'affinité d'anticorps monoclonaux, et sur des anticorps monoclonaux à affinité accrue.
